this whole post is the most valve thing, valve has done in a while.

We built orb. Video shows building orb... there is no great reveal at the end no crescendo.

We built orb and that's it.

Love it.

I'll always be peeved that Valve showcased Meet the Spy in SFM when they were advertising its release[1], yet never released the project files for it unlike their earlier shorts.

If they released the full project files to the public we could render our own HD remasters as we please.

Looks composited to me, look at the odd wobble of the picture overlapping the Gonarch, that's not present in the original video.
