> What is Valve Not Good At?
> Disseminating information internally
Whether this list is considered internal or not, who knows. Somebody might.
Isn't it operation Phoenix? Like, rise from the ashes phoenix? Like, return
to life phoenix? As apposed to Icarus, who flew towards the sun with wings of
wax.
Operation Phoenix sounds like retreading the maps in name, and that's what it
does. Operation Icarus will be a pack of maps that only look good in screen
shots, look forward to that! (Just kidding, that wouldn't get a release.)
Now, if it was Operation Chuck, I'd be worried.
Consider this pack time to get in gear. This is how you know, and with a time
estimate. Month or more from last pack release. I expect Chuck to come out
around Spring Break, but that's just my amature biz-dev speculation.

Valve I believe you should have communicated your intent to redistribute the
maps for the next Operation more clearly. I was under the impression
opportunity was present when it wasn't, and I worked tremendously hard at a
chance to get my map into the next Operation when there was never really a
chance to begin with.
Do you know what it is like to try and serve Valve? It feels like a pipe dream,
like I'm shooting for something that is so improbable I contemplate sometimes
if I truly am a rational being. I spent weeks cramming for something that had
no clear deadline and wasn't even a real opportunity, at the end of it all I
just feel duped. Not only did my map not make it into the Operation, there was
never a chance it was going to happen, and Valve didn't even leave a comment on
the workshop page. Over 8 months of hard work that did nothing but fall on deaf
ears.
I've spent thousands of hours the past 11 years teaching people how to use your
software, how to make maps, how to solve problems. I do it for free, I do it
because I believe map making is an art form of its own and I want to help it
grow, and I do it because I love it.
It would have made my day even if you told me my map wasn't any good.
Sincerely,
Michael "zastels" Mayea.
