Nobody ever tries to "disrupt" Epic or Valve or EA or whatever. Something smells off.

Yeah but that's because they can get away with releasing one good Game every 10 years while Steam prints money. Deadlock is first good/innovative thing to come out of valve since... portal 2 in 2011 or 2012? Some would argue the VR half-life, but VR games are TTT

Half-Life Alyx is top tier, they would do well to focus on VR imo.

VCs want to invest in companies that will have predictable earnings or corner some market. Games are not that.
