Valve Games Should be FREE?

People all over the steam cominity are chatting about games like Garrys mod,Leaft 4 Dead 2,Half Life ETC. What do u all think?

No.

I think you should read the previous threads about exactly this, find something that hasn't been said already, and then post in one of those threads.

It is real easy for people to say someone else should give you something for free. Why don't you guys create games and give them away for free?

i like f2p games and im glad tf2 has gone f2p (mostly) im premium now but then i think about all the outher games and say "they would be more popular if they went f2p" but then there the thought that valve have to make money somehow so i dont see the point

Garrys mod isn't developed by valve per se, it just runs on the source engine. Talk to Garry Newman about it, but good luck with convincing him lol.

There is no reason for games to be free. If you want free entertainment, then games are probably not your best bet.

TF2 works as a F2P game because it has a LARGE userbase and servers where you can play with a fair amount of other players and the games last a fair while.

It wouldn't be as easy in L4D for example, thats a game that you need to keep looking at things, so the fact that one of your friends (of which there are only 3 others) has a funny hat on isn't really much of a "thing" to be cashed in on.

Half-Life too, its mostly single player, there is a small multiplayer following, but it's nothing like the scale of TF2. Things like hats and weird outfits also fit into the style of the game. It would just look TOTALLY out of place in Counter Strike for your soldiers resucing the hostages to have wobbly eyes and pixie ears.
