Let me guess, artifact card artist?
Didn't the studio that made Firewatch join Valve? Kind of makes sense he'd follow if he'd worked with them before.
Hard to tell if that's really a good thing or not
Yes, they acquired Campo Santo, however he said this on Era: I’ll still be working on non-Valve stuff. I doubt I’ll be touching ITVOG much unless they need more hands on deck down the line.
Not entirely sure what a videogame artist is interested in doing in a banking company, maybe he has an amateur interest or something.
They're going to have Steam Workshop support for that.
Valve seems to be a great place to work. You can go there for a few years, not actually do anything and leave with a good company on your CV.
Didn’t realize he was the art director for Firewatch. Love his movie posters though
Isn't this the guy who trash talked PewDiePie?
Even better: Steam summer sale artist.
I'm genuinely intrigued at this point. Firewatch was a thrill the entire way through, even if it was fairly short, and had an amazing art direction, so if Valve has found some truly fantastic writers to replace the recent losses of the Half Life veterans; we may see another incredible story-driven Valve game in the near future(likely a new IP though).

I was under the impression that the team already left and got to keep their project Maybe I'm mistaking for something else
Kerbal devs
Someone has to draw the bank notes.
Can't wait to hear about him leaving next year having done fuck all.
Except you're probably not gonna hear about it. People are usually let go quietly, if the tweet storm is to be believed.
I mean yeah, thats sorta SOP for all businesses when an employee is fired or quits unless they are a seriously major part of the company. That's not exactly something you shout to the world.
If anyone really wonders what Valve is like, go look up Rich Geldreich on twitter and look back at his tweets starting from around July 14th. There's some legitimately evil shit going on at Valve and other flat structure companies to keep their workers in check without appearing like a normal company. It's why nothing ever gets done.
Reading "Movie posters" and "Valve" made me think "Left 4 Dead" but it's not happening
