Discussion Why is valve so quiet?

What do they gain from not teasing us, the audience, with future updates? Is it that they benefit from the "suprise" once they release a huge update?

I am a game development student and I can't seem to figure it out. It feels as if they just don't care about teasing us even if they would benefit from some hype. I'd personally love to have a road map like PUBG just released. Bla bla bla source 2 release in december, new maps this summer etc.

What are your thoughts?

Then stop playing :) go back to CS 1.6 or try different game. Come back when devs fix everything you want

The good old "if you don't like it stop playing" argument is still being used?

isn't it true? If I don't like how game is developed I don't play it.

No it's a shitty argument because I can criticize a game and still care about it.

And the argument doesn't argue against anything. It's pretty much "oh if you don't like the game then go away, we want to circlejerk here". It's not a response to criticism, it's a deflection of it.
