Valve's latest game release has sparked significant interest among gamers, despite its initial low-key introduction.

Andrew notes that Valve has a history of creating iconic games like Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2, but also mentions their tendency to abandon projects, which raises concerns about the longevity of their new release 2.

It's a big deal that they're actually making something new. And I really, really hope that because it's so popular, it will continue to be supported.
