TSA Writes:
It’s with a sense of wonderment that I look forward to the next game in the series. For something that was originally packaged up alongside Half Life 2 in the Orange Box as a side-project the first Portal outshone its counterparts with ease, and now that the fully-fledged sequel is on its way (it’s due in April) anticipation of what might be in store for returning player character Chell is reaching fever pitch for anyone with a passing interest in Valve’s output.
Half-Life and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw has detailed how his team has been using Generative AI for research and development at Valve.
Valve has responded to New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against the firm, stating it does not believe that lootboxes in its Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 games unlawfully encourage minors to gamble, adding it was "disappointed" to see the action go ahead despite efforts to "educate" the NYAG about virtual items since "early 2023."
