The history of Valve, or Success from the first game
22.05.2014, 11:16
The history of the creation of the famous Counter Strike began with the fact that one of its authors quit his job at Microsoft for his own business.
Yuri Mitin and Mikhail Khomich talk about how the head of Valve Software skillfully used the experience of working at Microsoft, visionarily acquired the engine of a successful game and brought artificial intelligence to the gameplay.
Mikhail Khomich, Lecturer in Innovation Economics, Lomonosov Moscow State University:
This story began in 1996.
Unknown to anyone, Gabe Newell quit Microsoft after 13 years of corporate slavery.
He decided to start his own multimedia company, and took his friend Mike Harrington as an assistant.
Their dream was to create a scary computer game in the 3D first person action format.
At the beginning, they didnot even know what to call the company, but decided to stop at the memorable word "valve", choosing the name Valve Software.
To simplify the development process, the founders purchased a license for the famous Quake game engine.
After a year and a half of hard work, the first game called Half life appeared.
It was science fiction from the first person.
The game made a real splash — more than 50 gaming publications recognized Half Life as the game of the year.
However, the creators did not stop there, but continued their work and in 2000 released another hit – the computer game Counter Strike.
This is a multiplayer game based on the confrontation of two teams — terrorists and special forces, world tournaments on which have been held for 12 years.
Now more than 300 people work within the walls of Valve Software, and the net profit for the last year exceeded $1 billion.
How to make money on a banal shooting game?
Yuri Mitin, expert on innovative entrepreneurship:
There are three factors to note here.
To begin with, the founder had 13 years of experience at Microsoft.
Secondly, the license of the famous Quake game was purchased for the development of the game.
Third, the addition of artificial intelligence to the gameplay has become a revolution in the entire industry.
If you work in an IT corporation and have been dreaming about your business for a long time, take the first step!
