    Portal Reloaded is a good campaign too for anyone looking to revisit the game. It adds a fourth dimension to the portal gun.

      I haven’t played that one, sadly. My laptop can handle every other portal except that one.

      Valve will make portal 3 when it’s needed to sell one of their new toys.

      Just like valve only made alyx to push their vr set, or just like they made all their other games to push steam to the market.

      Edit: lol I’m not even shitting on valve, but it’s a clear pattern that they only make games when they need to. It’s a retail and technology company first and foremost. That’s just objectively true.

        I don’t understand what the downvotes are for. You guys really think Valve aren’t out for money? They’re not your friends, they’re a company. Sure, they have developers who make crazy shit as a passion project, and leadership that generally knows to just let them do their thing, but if you think it’s not for the expressed purpose of making money, you guys need to be disillusioned…

          At the same time they leave a whole lot of money on the table by paying employees to work on projects that never come to an end, their big advantage is that someone has enough sense to have them support their products long term and to not have them release most of the incomplete products they could shovel out onto the market, contrary to Google.

          Valve would have more money in its coffers by just making sure Steam stays the most used platform and by investing in ways to monetize stuff on it (cards, in game objects…). I’m sure they didn’t end up making profit from the Steam “PC”, controller, VR headset, Alyx…

          To an extent I disagree. Valve is a fully privately funded corporation with no investors. They aren’t like other corporations who’s biggest goal is to return profits to shareholders above all else. Without shareholders, and with Steam basically being a money printer they don’t have a clear reason to be doing everything in the pursuit of money.

            Not having investors doesn’t make you a non-profit, the goal is still to make money
