Last Half-Life and Portal Writer Leaves Valve

Last Half-Life and Portal Writer Leaves Valve

Chet Faliszek has left Valve Corporation. He worked for the studio for twelve years and was involved with writing Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two and both Portal games as a text writer.

Faliszek is undoubtedly one of the industry's most talented writers, reports gamebizindustry today, with a CV which includes two Half Life episodes, two Portal games and both Left 4 Deads. Working with his long time friend Eric Wolpaw, with whom he ran hugely influential gaming site Old Man Murray, and author Mark Laidlaw, (and later Jay Pinkerton and Ted Kosmatka) Faliszek and his contemporaries defined Valve's incredible story writing for its formative years. Between them, they have answered more questions about Half Life 3 than there are grains of sand on a beach.

"[It was]Nothing exciting or drama filled," he wrote of his departure. "I worked there 12 years, shipped a bunch of great games and some amazing hardware and wanted to change things up. There's no news on what's next etc, I will let you know when that happens."

I'm sure a lot of them are willing to, but good luck getting the tights from Valve.

Valve is the most strange IT company I've seen.
They do care for many different things, but at the same time give the s*** for all the past, that brought them to this day.

hope they reconsider one day, even if it means selling\licensing rights to IP to someone else.

Valve are no longer game developers. They're greedy hat casino owners now - not interested in the arts anymore.

I'm OK with Valve not making HL3. Look at Gearbox when they made Opposing Forces and even the modders who made Black Mesa mod. It can be done with a 3rd party team comprising of ex-Valve members and using the Source engine (for nostalgia sakes) with Valve and Gabby's blessings.

I just want HL3 before another decade!
