Major Update Speculation Thread v12: Layoffs Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Zesty McLime;39580777]Oh someone gave me a dota key, I mean steam has never given me one. In any case, no new exciting items. But the update is tonight.[/QUOTE] No exciting items? Dude, we'll get the first promo taunt! Doesn't that sound exciting to you?

I hope they didn't fire them because the community is now helping for valve. "We don't need you anymore, were just gonna let the community do all the shit, hell lets have them make Half life 3"

But if the community made HL3 the quality of the models would be a lot better.

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;39581022]Welcome to SFM[/QUOTE] Sounds more like GMod to me.

Gabes response makes me think a lot of personal issues are involved

hey wait that's the guy who made the skull and juju guess the paints NEVER EVER getting fixed now

Bay was the first Valve employee to comment on anything I've done, and lead to the inclusion of The Head Warmer of Australian Christmas 2011. He has helped establish my footing in this ground of item contribution, and that has lead to so many more things. Business things. [i]Big[/i] things. I'm going to miss him. And I'm worried about what's to come.

Just realised pyro's getting his first hair item.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;39581325]don't be ;)[/QUOTE] Are you about to come? Edit: Oops that sounds weird

[QUOTE=psyke;39581337]Just realised pyro's getting his first hair item.[/QUOTE] Whiskered gentleman is hair though?

[QUOTE=psyke;39581337]Just realised pyro's getting his first hair item.[/QUOTE] he's got that clown hair.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;39581325]don't be ;)[/QUOTE] I'm not worried about the future of TF2 as much as I am worried about mine. Having people on the inside being on my side and in full support of my contributions has help make things terrific. Now one of those people are gone.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39581348]he's got that clown hair.[/QUOTE] Awh shit i forgot about that. wait there's apparently more people who've been dropped Moby Francke, Half-Life 2 character designer and Team Fortress 2 art lead Jason Holtman, director of business development for Steam and Steamworks Keith Huggins, character animator and animator for Team Fortress 2 “Meet the” video series Tom Leonard, software engineer for Half-Life 2 and Left 4 Dead Realm Lovejoy, artist for Half-Life 2, Portal, and Left 4 Dead. She was also part of the original DigiPen-turned-Valve team that created Narbacular Drop, the inspiration for Portal Marc Nagel, test lead for Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and patch updates Bay Raitt, animator for Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal. He also made almost single-handedly Meet the Pyro and he was the voice of the SFM tutorials (image) Elan Ruskin, engine programmer for Left 4 Dead, Portal 2, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Matthew Russell, animator for Team Fortress 2 “Meet the” video series

Mullet painted indubitably green + Nose candy + tuxxy = Joker pyro Don't steal my idea

Matthew Russell helped me a ton for the QC magic that made revamping Gmod 13's player animations much easier, he was awesome :C

Why don't I have a HLDS email yet.
