lofty29 Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.10.01 19:36:00 - [1] The above is the title of my current essay assignment Yey. Problem is, I can't find any information about any Funding Valve received to produce the game. I know most of it was funded via the profits of half life 1, but there must have been investments in order for half life 1 to have been produced. Anybody who can help me find out names, reasons and amounts people invested in the Half Life series? Cheers --- Project Mayhem 2
Yuri Christonovitch Brother Hood Of A Thousand	Posted - 2007.10.01 19:41:00 - [2] Wasnt't the original HL published by Sierra?, if so they would have paid for the development. As for HL2 after the success of HL1 im sure Valve would have had no problems getting business loans to fund finance of HL2, having EA as the publisher of the phyisical goods cant have hurt either

Why did I not think of that? Also, I just found that HL2 was produced with absolutely no external funding, so that's solved. --- Project Mayhem 2

Grez Minmatar Sybrite Inc.	Posted - 2007.10.02 06:50:00 - [10] Edited by: Grez on 02/10/2007 06:51:05 Not Sierra... Vivendi (the name difference is vital). Vivendi paid some of the fee's required to develop and produce Half-Life 1. All of the revenue from Half-Life 1 was used to do produce and develop Half-Life 2, with additional support from Vivendi, until their court settlement (Vivendi didn't want Valve to use Steam). Now EA pay Valve to distribute their games into the real world. It's very important to remember that NO MONEY from any third party went directly into the development process of Half-Life 2, it was only used in other areas (office fees and such). ---

niko86 Quantum Industries Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.10.02 09:54:00 - [11] Gabe Newell, one of the co founders of valve was an ex-microsoft employee who made millions from his stocks. Used his money to fund Valve through the production of Half-Life 1. So Valve would therefore kept alot most of Half-Life's profits, and like you said Valve funded Half-Life 2 itself. So they pretty unique in the games industry that they didnt need much if any external funding. - Transire suum pectus mundoque potiri
Blacksilk Caldari SPECTRE Ops	Posted - 2007.10.02 10:40:00 - [12] Contact Valve directly explaining what you are doing - they may surprise you. Failing that, change the title to Eve Online: Funding and Hierarchy of Production and Development since ccp are just about the most talkative developer I've come across.
