Comment on Portal 2 project lead wants Valve to return to single-player games
sanpo@sopuli.xyz 4 weeks agoSure, it’s not like their last full release was actually a single player only game.
The headline is taken a bit out of context, the guy being interviewed seems to imply he doesn’t really consider VR “single player games”.
And besides, he left Valve 7 years ago.

You have to consider Valve’s position there. That wasn’t just any old single-player game, it was a VR game that was released to boost development of VR games in general, which Valve would make money off of basically any VR game ever created.
Same reason they created the Steam Deck. Look how that worked out for them.

It’s usually the same reason for their best games. :)
With previous Half-Life games came Source engine and the entire Steam.
