Half-Life easter eggs have been found in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive closed beta vpk files in the form of several textures intended for whiteboards (presumably in the popular map cs_office) that joke about the game development process and make several references to the Half-Life series. There are also several game development jokes about game testers’ lack of sleep, Valve’s notorious delays, and the abundance of crates found throughout Valve’s FPS titles.
Half-Life and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw has detailed how his team has been using Generative AI for research and development at Valve.

Counter-Strike 2 dev Ido Magal confirms that 960,000 accounts were VAC banned from the FPS in its ongoing clampdown on CS2 farming bots.
i mean thats a problem of their own design to begin with, but because it makes them so much money they won't change it. It's something that they at least ban a bunch but it's the absolute minimum that they're doing.
Must be a lot of inactive accounts, there's no discernible difference in the active player count on the Steam charts.
Stop teasing and just announce the damn thing VALVE
DAMN YOU GABE NEWELLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
CAPS OF RAGE!
i cant wait to e3 2012 to see half life 3
I think Valve might be brave enough to do something like "Here is Half-Life 3. It's out tomorrow.". Cue the explosion of the Internet.
