A true story follows: Valve picked up an entire indie team.
Kerbal Space Program could be familiar to you, especially if you are experienced with indie games. An ex-Valve employee has spilled the beans during the latest Game Dev Unchained podcast that about six months ago, Valve hired the entire Squad team to work for them. Roger Lundeen, who previously was an architect and environment designer at Valve, has said that Gabe Newell still continues to hire mod makers to work for him.
The last prominent case of this event could be Portal – about a decade ago, Valve hired none other than some student developers to work on one of the major titles of the Orange Box.
We don’t know yet what Squad will do under Valve, but apparently, we will get some information regarding them „soon.”
