The Act Man | The Rise & Fall of Valve @TheActMan | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Valve used to be the 'Good Guy' of game developers. From their outstanding hits in Half-Life, Team Fortress 2, Portal, Left 4 Dead and so on, they have dominated the PC market and revolutionized gaming. But somewhere along the way they had a fall from grace. They stopped selling games and started selling hats. Gambling, lawsuits, illegal activities, after 2011 Valve was getting involved in all kinds of shady stuff.
And it's time I filled you in on the Rise and Fall of Valve.
