Valve hired Le and Cliffe when the mod’s popularity was becoming clear, as well as buying the rights to Counter-Strike. Le calls the transition to working at Valve “very humbling” and says “I got to work with some of the best game developers in the industry, and they taught me some skills I would never have learned outside of Valve.”
I mean, if my game mods were to be made into full titles, I for sure would be selling the rights to Valve if I had a choice. Dota also started as a mod and it still receives love from Valve 11 years on.

A very wholesome story. I played probably thousands of hours of 1.6 and Source in high school, really loved this game.
My favorite memory is going to an IT camp with other nerds, and managing to knife 36 people in one day. That was the life.
I don’t have a gaming PC now (nor the time to play this much), but will think about checking out CS2 in the future.
When will you get out of prison?
What happens at IT camp stays at IT camp
Just like those 36 people he knifed.
Accept the gold, then eliminate the target. Hail the Listener! Hail Sithis! So begins a contract, bound in blood.
I was docking the Steam Deck and playing GO, but 2 doesn’t really run that well on there.
I still play the hell out of Source though. My brother and I did nothing else one summer growing up. I spent all of my 20s playing CS:Source and WoW.
I wish I had time for either these days.
CS_siege was great with the apc. Load up your teammates and drive them all off the cliff lol.

Team fortress started as a mod…
Maybe not all mods-turned-franchises get the best treatment
