Valve as we know it is dead

Portal 2 is a 45 $ map pack, with 90 $ worth of Useles DLC and hats.
We are not proud of valve.
Their game have turned into a money printing machine generating great ammount of profit with very little work.
There marketing department now use advanced neuropsychology Technique to sell their virtual product at high prices .
They don't care about the half life series because it's hard to sell skins and animation on a singleplayer game.
