Where to find developers or companies who build Valve Mods - Games

Hi Everyone, I've been reading up on Valve mods and am currently building a new company in the space. I was wondering if anyone knew of any companies or individual developers who can be hired to help. A little about me: I'm a 2x founder/developer/ceo who has sold two companies over the last 7 years and is starting a 3rd company in the gaming space. Andrew CEO, Lookout Gaming LLC

First of all, with your business: Listen to the fucking customer or your screwed. This is especially relevant in gaming.

Lol. Andrew CEO, Lookout Gaming LLC

What's your LinkedIn... [sub][sp]password leak[/sp][/sub]

theres this great company called dark artz gaming.. you should try it!

CEO who can't spell, hires people on an internet forum and plans to start a "3rd" company that involves games when he himself can't make a game. Where do I sign up!

I'm making a mod. But I'm sure as hell not involving your ass.

I would like to help, but I am about to take my private jet to Valve island to work on Half Life 3.

I'd like a job, can I be the ideas guy?

Or did those businesses fail? Or did you strip them of their assets and then sold off the left overs? More importantly what were those businesses? Can you give us their names and what country you are based in. Are you able to give us any information or proof that you are not another idea guy whos walked over here in an attempt to grab content creators? Because there has been incidents like this before and I certainly would not like to be a victim of it either, pretty sure it goes the same for all content creators.

I agree that I should've been more careful to explain myself yesterday.

I also highly doubt a seasoned, high-powered business man would come to some random game related forum to look into hiring a "valve mod company."

I thought of posting here as going directly to the source.

This has to be some sort of joke. I guess this could be considered "going" directly to the source" but nobody does this.

You need to be a Source engine licensee to be able to make money from a "mod", and by that point, it's really it's own game.

Many great games have been made over the internet.

[QUOTE=lotusking;36257502]no, this place is full of autistic 13 year olds. this is where you can find actual talent. [url]www.interlopers.net[/url][/QUOTE] Been here since April yet you almost have 700 posts, and you have the nerve to call us all "autistic 13 year olds"? Your 10 posts per day are practically screaming at you "oh shit nigger what are you doing"

[QUOTE=lotusking;36257502]no, this place is full of autistic 13 year olds. this is where you can find actual talent. [url]www.interlopers.net[/url][/QUOTE] On the one hand you're entirely correct. On the other hand I hate you because you're a passive aggressive whiner with shitty opinions.
