Aw man, everybody is beating me to the 'Steam doesn't make games' jokes!
Well in all seriousness then, that's a super cool movie for him, he basically went from one great company to another great company, that is pretty rad, and I hope in a few months or years or however long we get to see his name attached to a pretty Brad game!
Brad Muir doesn't seem like one to be just another voice in the room on Portal 3.
He's the one who pushed for Brazen, Iron Brigade, and Massive Chalice. IE made them, got them in front of Tim, and got them funded/made ( outside of Brazen ).
He's also mentioned in the past he was the guy who made the gameplay systems for dozens of Double Fine games, and always selfdoubted himself, because the rest of Double Fine made him dumb them down. ( "Yeah, I made this super cool system, and then someone stopped by and said, hey Brad. You realize this is a game for the average gamer, right?" ).
He also confirmed on Twitter he got hired to work on a game, and that "he wasn't hired for his stunning economics", ie probably not another soldier in the CS:GO/Dota machine.
Looking forward to seeing his visions with virtually unlimited budgets. Watching all the behind the scenes videos through Massive Chalice there were always moments of "We'd like to... but..." I'm imagining his ideas with a big team could be pretty crazy.
All the best for the best Brad! (Sorry Shoemaker...) Valve has produced some of my favorite games and I see him fitting in. Here's to hoping he gets to work on some new IPs.
