Valve is up to something....

[Soviet Heavy]

I've noticed that Valve seems to be getting a lot of things from Weta Workshop lately.
First, we have the Sentry.

And earlier this year, a guy from Weta Digital made this teaser for a fan film.

Conspiracy? Collaboration? Wild coincidence? I dunno about you, but I'm suspicious that something might be up between the two companies.

I was just thinking the same thing.
Also, the latest TF2 update is a little suspicious. The only description is "Updated some files, for no reason whatsoever"

Hmmmmm...

They're always up to something, those crafty scoundrels.

 

[wammnebu]

the head of weta is madly in love with valve CEO, and is trying to drop subtle hints.

 

[LimitedPunctuation]

my personal conspiracy is I really want them to make that movie now.

The TF2 wiki revealed the contents of that update. It was a few new series of crates that may contain the Polycount hats. Crate #6 is a holiday-themed crate and cannot be opened with regular keys.

There may have been something else that I don't recall (can't be bothered to track down the page), but it was nothing all that mysterious.

Edit: Oh, they added some new paint colors. I think that was it.

Maybe they have a secret project. Or maybe I'm just thinking about wild conspiracy theories.

Lol. You know, if I were in such a position, I would do the exact same thing. Especially, if I was planning something BIG. Good to know that I have the same sense of humor as someone at Valve.
