When Gabe dies, how much do you want to bet valve is going to suddenly want to start working on half life 3? Only to produce a buggy shallow generic AAA title with micro transactions? I'm hoping I'm wrong, but I'm a little cynical about the whole gaming industry these days.
You are aware the Gabe was there when Hats and Karambits were added to TF2 and CS:GO?
Newell isn't some saint, he's running an obscenely profitable business. The games Valve are actually maintaining, CS2 and DOTA2, both have a lot of microtransactions. I really don't understand why you're making out that Valve would never add MTX until some evil corpo suit takes over after Gabe's death.
I was okay with hats and cosmetics in TF2. Didn't play CS:GO, but I'd be okay with that as well. It's just cosmetics and you can unlock every single one of them through playing or crafting. It had zero effect on the game play. When different weapons were added I found them to be refreshing and a new lease on life for the old game. It's stupid and silly but it was fun.
CS:GO cosmetics appear to be obtained by gambling with real money.
