Hopefully they can teach them to not make something disappointing this time.

Is it bad that my first thought was "oh no, that's bad for them"?

I guess I just have an anti-valve bias.

they get financial security for their project, a bigger presence than they could ever dream of, a nice salary, and if this doesn't work out for them they can just quit and work on something new together like they've always done

Doesn't seem serious about making games, just funding other teams that actually make games

Is it really Valve Developing games if they are buying a developer to develop games?

At best Valve is serious about PUBLISHING games again.

Portal, L4D, Dota, CS, Team Fortress - all these projects started outside of Valve. It's how they do business.

I don't think comparing Campo Santo and Bioware is in any way appropriate.

I know Valve have indicated they want to start making games again but this has me concerned. We may never see another Campo Santo game after their upcoming one.

I'll believe a new Valve game when I see it.

They all made just 1 long term game, only exception being Portal 2 to an extent. It would be a massive departure if Campo kept making more small contained games.

Given that Bioware themselves said they would have gone under without EA, better than a lot of people like to think.

That's... honestly kind of depressing, for multiple reasons.
