Portal is not made by steam.

[zigibagidoo 0]

I've heard that every year, all the game makers go to an IGN thing where the game made by them are rated. Apprantely, when Hen and Ido created Portal, it won the game award. So, steam thought it looked good and bought Portal off Hen and Ido and remade another one. That is why in the Portal trailer, the portals are purle and blue, not orange and blue and the levels are diffirent.

(I wonder if you can still get that version?)

...What?

So basically, steam bought Portal off Hen and Ido and remade it.

[elitehakor 37]

I thought VALVe made Portal.

[zigibagidoo 0]

That's what I thought but I did some research and found out that Hen and Ido made the original.

[elitehakor 37]

>.<

Just be quiet.

[TheNoiseExplosion 25]

It is true that TFV came before the real portal, but only by a few hours.

They made all of the changes, packaged it and distributed it within a few hours? Yeah right.

[VerdeFlash 126]

What is going on here?

Portal is not any sort of stolen property, it was made by VALVe.

Hen and Ido don't sneak around making and remaking games, or they would have a fortune and more interesting posters on their forums than me.

However, Valve and WCS ARE in cahoots to make a horrible world-ending device that folds the universe inside out.

[OZPruduction 28]

So you think IGN said that portal was formaly created by Hen and Ido, but then VALVe stole it? Is that you cake?

[eXeC 246]

Yeah, I think it's him too.

I know where the confusion came from.

Here is a timeline, which I had to write in like 20 seconds:

I don't think DigiPen would accept me with my current grades.

[FullMetalBoy 17]

I think they wouldn't give a crap about your grades and instead you would need to go through some tough entrance exams D:

...Neat...the truth? This is the end of the world as we know it...

My post was edited to make a PHPBB list instead of just numbers. Doesn't it look a whole lot better?

[OZPruduction 28]

It does.

PLUS:

To Ido: "What?"

[FullMetalBoy 17]

The development team of Portal are a bunch of graduates from from a college called DigiPen. While they were there they developed a game called Narbacular Drop, which pretty much was the protoype for Portal(although it looks nothing like it). Valve saw this game, and immediately hired those guys, which led to the creation of Portal itself.

[OZPruduction 28]

Oh, I knew all that, exept of DigiPen

[TheNoiseExplosion 25]

Digipen? Never heard of it.

[NeatNit 4,963]

Just downloaded it, gonna play it
