Valve Studio Tour: From Old To New
Over the last decade, Valve's reputation and sales numbers have
grown by leaps and bounds. Franchises like Left 4 Dead and Portal have been
introduced to fantastic critical and commercial reaction, resulting in
the company as a whole growing in size. As such, they started to
outgrow their 38,000 sq. ft. studio in Bellevue, Washington. This
month, the entire studio packed up and moved down the road a bit to a
brand-new location that will be almost three times as big when it's all
said and done.
Check out our video below to see the old studio pre-move, the new studio under construction, and finally, the finished product.
Be sure to check out the hub page for all of this month's coverage of Portal 2.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
