Valve needs a bigger studio? - Games

I just think that Valve should grow their development team so they can make things faster an have the extra help. Whats your input?

Recording studio or just development?

why would you assume only recording studio lol

I think they're fine as they are. They're a small company and yet they're one of the most popular and successful.

Nope, why would they. They currently deliver quality games. Wouldn't like to see that change.

They become too big they become like EA, or Tesco. Industry powers with no focus on quality, just profit.

Last I heard, Valve was moving into a 70,000 sq. ft building. They have 30,000 sq. ft now, and a staff of about 250 people.

They're already very big for a one-game-a-year developer and they're moving offices.

Not really, they work fine how they are. But I still want Episode 3

No. Valve is fucking awesome because they aren't that big so they communicate with eachother well and thus come up with the best ideas

Valve are automatically better than all other game companies, even fanboys will disagree but if they knew Valve enough they'd be a valve fanboy. Valve are automatically better for one reason is that they actually communicate with the god damn community instead of ripping their faces off and laughing at them.

Yeah. I'm getting tired of waiting for EP3. [sp]And the studio is not big enough for Gabe's massive body.[/sp] :ninja:

Well, if they moved I'd just say make the Studio Orchestra have a bigger room. They deserve a spot.

Mike Morasky and Kelly Bailey barely use any real instruments, the only cases of ever having one have all been solo instruments (the trumpet in TF2, the guitar in the L4D2 intro and the horde samples of the game...)

If it's not broke don't fix it. Making it bigger would spread things out and ruin the focus Valve has. [editline]01:47PM[/editline] The problem lays with you. Don't be so impatient. A game will be done when it's done. The longer something takes the more work goes into it usually. Valve hasn't let us down, so stop worrying.

If it will help them work faster and better, yes.
