The countdown is over, Valve has revealed the message on the Aperture Science website.
The message is:
09:00 – Hello again.
09:00 – I’ve been waiting a long time for this.
09:00 – I know it’s arriving later than expected.
09:00 – But I have a message for you:
09:00 – April Fools.
09:01 – I’m joking.
09:01 – Seriously, though:
09:01 – You’ve been surprisingly competent at
09:01 – generating electro-chemical energy to jumpstart the system.
09:01 – But now we need raw computational power
09:02 – to speed up the reboot process.
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."
I'm buying that pack.
God, this validates my love for Valve.
If I had a PC, I'd immediately purchase all those, play them all, buy Portal 2 early, play it all,- die happy.
Congrats on being the fastest poster in the West.
Now, the problem is, everyone is reporting everyone else's article as a dup. Now no one will get approved!!!
Valve really loves their indie devs! That is one hell of a promotion they just gave those games lol.
