Nice pickup by Valve, absolute disaster of a loss for Double Fine. Congrats Brad!

 

[Baron_Calamity]

And he'll never release a game again...

 

[Tenebrous]

Double fine lost a great smile

Seriously. Dude has an amazing . The pic of him with his kid is sweet as hell.

 

[zelas]

Lucky guy

 

[dark_inferno]

Well he is now somewhere save.

Happy for him.

Thank you. Would be useful information to have in the OP.

 

[Guymelef]

Is he tired of develop games?

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Wait, he left Double Fine ?

I guess Massive Chalice wasn't that big of a success.

 

[PaulloDEC]

This makes me sad. Brad was such a ray of sunshine in all the Amnesia Fortnight and other assorted Double Fine media. I'll miss seeing him hanging with that gang.

 

[liquidtmd]

And he'll never release a game again...

 

[Pudge]

And he'll never release a game again...

He doesn't have to, he's also a huge DOTA guy, so I imagine he'll be joining that team.

I'm very happy for him myself. Another personal notch against Double Fine now that he's gone, although I'm sad we'll probably never see Drenched now.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

Why did he leave?

 

[Arkanius]

Valve is like the Retirement home where Game Developers go to stop making games.


Just kidding, I love what Valve is doing with CSGO and Dota2

 

[LiK]

FYI, Brad is a huge Dota fan.

 

[daveo42]

Why did he leave?

I don't think I'd turn down the chance to work at Valve.

 

[Calabi]

Another developer lost to the Bermuda triangle that is Valve.

 

[JordanKZ]

Double Fine is a great studio, but the ups and downs must be killer. It's probably a good place for Brad, quite frankly.

 

[shinobi602]

Why did he leave?

He got tired of game development.

 

[funkystudent]

A game developer saying they are going to work at Valve is like when your parents tell you they sent the dog to live on a farm.

They might be dead or they might be having the time of their lives. I dont know. All I know is they are gone forever.



But I wish him the best.

 

[Stitch]

Half-Life³ confirmed!?

 

[Shuggananas]

diretide 2016 confirmed

 

[Tenebrous]

Getting bored of the Valve make no games meme now, haha. (My) GOTY in 2011, best FPS shooter on the market in 2012, (my) GOTY in 2013... Not bad if you ask me!

I don't think I'd turn down the chance to work at Valve.

Should also be cheaper than working for Double Fine. Seattle costs less than SF, right?

I'd rather work at Blizzard, but Valve would be a decent second choice... Shame I've no talent at all.

 

[SilentRob]

He doesn't have to, he's also a huge DOTA guy, so I imagine he'll be joining that team.

Oh my god, yeah, that makes a lot of sense...and is absolutely terrible news D: Brad is one of the most charismatic and creative people in gaming these days. So the guy (partly) responsible for games like Brutal Legend, Massive Chalice and Iron Brigade will now work on..a MOBA?

Oh no D: This is a very ignorant thing to say, i realize that, this is great news for the guy and the millions and millions of DOTA-fans but...

OH NO D:

 

[Tregard]

Came to make a joke about not making games anymore. Severely beaten.

 

[Spwn]

Have fun designing new DOTA2 heroes, Brad. That's going to be your life now.

I guess DF won't have any mechanically experimental games in the works then.

 

[j0hnny_385]

And he'll never release a game again...

 

[Myggen]

Congrats to Brad!

 

[Shuggananas]

I'd rather work at Blizzard

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

raise your

 

[Joey Ravn]

Fuck hats. DLC Smiles is where it's at now.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I guess he'll have to make DOTA skins from now on.

That sucks, Massive Chalice was fun.

 

[kAmui-]

Good for him Valve must be one of the best places to work at

 

[Shuggananas]

I guess he'll have to make DOTA skins from now on.

That sucks, Massive Chalice was fun.

Joke's on you, Valve hardly make any hats

 

[John Kowalski]

maybe valve will let him release BRAZEN you know

maybe one day

conga rats vampire man

 

[Hot Coldman]

Alter Echo 2 let's go!!!!

 

[daveo42]

I mean, you do get paid to make hats count money and play DOTA2 and CSGO all day. Sounds like a good work environment to me.

Edit: They get the fans to make hats now while Valve takes a cut.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Why did he leave?

Double Fine has been losing talent for awhile. They are still hiring and seem to have a new contract but its pretty clear most of the old guard is moving on. Not sure why though.

FYI, Brad is a huge Dota fan.

That's almost worse.

 

[Xater]

Is he just going to work on DOTA? Because if he wants to continue deigning games, Valve seems like the wrong place.

 

[Com_Raven]

Double fine lost a great smile

Seriously! That smile is both infectious, and a little scary...

Looking forward to what he will work on.

 

[samn]

He doesn't have to, he's also a huge DOTA guy, so I imagine he'll be joining that team.

Eugh =/

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Dead

Way better pay to support his new baby boy.

 

[Jintor]

 

[strafer]

Well, Valve could really use that smile.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

And he'll never release a game again...
