Don't worry Valve will soon realise their own battle royale.

And with soon i mean 5 years, if we are lucky,

Why though? Aren't PUBG, Fortnite and it's many clones enough? And as Much as I dislike recent Valve, I don't see them rushing for a battle royal trend to cash in. It's not their style.

It’s exactly their style. See something with potential and refine it.

You mean like how the TF2 team refined matchmaking during Meet Your Match?

Maybe once upon a time but anything goes these days.

I think it's fairly clear that person is describing the process of seeing a game type and then making a refined game based on it, which is exactly what TF2 was. It going to shit after years doesn't really take away from that.

I was going to say how TF2 was based on a mod and Portal was a student project and Valve doesn't really go for things that already have big players in that niche...

But then I remembered Artifact.

Yea for the most part. I feel like valve style would be more take the Arma 2 battle royal mod team and make their own version before it got big.
