Highlights of Valve announcements at GDC

Valve announced the Source 2 engine, the successor to the Source engine used in Valve's games since the launch of Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2. "The value of a platform like the PC is how much it increases the productivity of those who use the platform. With Source 2, our focus is increasing creator productivity. Given how important user generated content is becoming, Source 2 is designed not for just the professional developer, but enabling gamers themselves to participate in the creation and development of their favorite games," said Valve's Jay Stelly. "We will be making Source 2 available for free to content developers. This combined with recent announcements by Epic and Unity will help continue the PCs dominance as the premiere content authoring platform."

Today is a good day. AND IT'S FREE! What are your thoughts?

EDIT: Another link!

It bad that the only thing I can think of is "Half Life 3 confirmed!"
That said, really nice that it's going to be a free platform for people to use.

Edit: Also can Steam Link be butchered to be used like a capture card? Cause that'd be awesome.

Confirmed, but they're starting over on it to make it for the new engine. So it's going to be another 8 years. =P
