For a game widely considered to be one of the best I find it surprising Valve hasn’t just yeeted dlc at us over the years of new content. I don’t need a story, I just need coop fun. Weird since there’s been SO MANY fan made mods.

    Valve openly suffers from the “zero billions” problem, which effectively blocks small, safe projects from getting off the ground.

    They have enough cash to focus all their effort on moonshots, and in the long run it will serve them well.

    Why would they? What could they offer that the hundreds of community test chambers and mods don’t?

    Because someone did the math and decided that the cost of development plus the cost of ongoing support was less than what they’d make selling the DLC, or was less than what they’d make selling TF2 hats or whatever
