Valve is doing this very weird thing where workers aren't tied to specific projects and they can jump between projects any time they want as there is no hierarchy there. This gives them a lot of freedom, but at a same time it probably is a major reason why a lot of sequels didn't happened

Where are all these jobs listed? I just see a generic jobs page with positions they are "always" hiring for.

I'd like to work for them personally. Not super interested in the gaming dev side of things, but the steam store itself must have some insane software engineering behind it to take care of things like version control (updates), online gaming, digital licensing, community forums, etc. Would love a peek under the hood

Most played game on Steam by a mile is dead ? CS2 is anything but that c'mon
Isn't it obvious they're hiring for proper release of DEADLOCK.

Those new hires need to fix deadlock. Garbage performance for a game that looks worse than half life 2

Alyx and Deadlock are pretty obviously influenced.Valve were on the Sweet baby list, so never say never..
Old Valve is dead. Long live old Valve.

Valve as a game make though is probably the least one I'm concerned with pushing out 'modern' nonsense. They barely make any new games and the best ones they've already made
I see them more as just a storefront at this point that just so happens to make the best handheld on the market
But, if that starts failing because of agendas, I might feel differently

I'm starting to think this is like a "Pavlov's Dog" scenario. Someone mentions "hiring" and people have to mention DEI or Woke.

I won't forgive Valve for consuming Campo Santo, I'm still waiting for In the Valley of Gods.
Yeah, no evidence of 'mass hiring' here. The video mentions isolated individual hires via LinkedIn from months ago, which doesn't indicate a massive recruitment drive.

Surely a return to ip such as Portal and more Half Life games, right?

Hey now, we didn't start that shit show. I used to associate 'hiring' with an employer looking for qualified personnel and nothing else.

Yeah but the community is far from happy. There's hardly any casual content any more. Also, let's not forget that CS2 is mostly just a lottery simulator these days what with the rampant case gambling and weapon skin market. There's a ton of bot farms that partake in that game, especially with the recent 'season pass' update (which was similarly awful and phoned in).
And Deadlock hiring is fine in my book. That game is going to be Valve's future and will be huge for sure. I've enjoyed my time with it but I'll give it some more time in the oven before fully delving in.

Perfect time to finish up Half Life 3 with the Source 2 Alyx Engine. And don't be VR only which it shouldn't be since they'll want HL3 to sell a crazy huge amount!

Hopefully they are speeding up development of the Deckard with a 2026 release window!

Constant politics on this forum
It's ridiculous. Valve is already contracting non binary people who are doing an amazing job on steam Proton, linux and ARM but most people ignore that (as it should be).

Steam Deck 2 Half life 3
Valve is the poster child for hiring the best people in the industry and then making sure they get stuck in development hell.

I don't see it, unfortunately. I also don't see any big advancements in displays or semiconductors on the horizon before 2027 (at the earliest) that are going to be game changers. That's the problem VR is having: the tech is still in its infancy and there really hasn't been a huge leap in recent years, but it is definitely coming and if someone can do it, it is Valve!I hope you meant 2025!
