Valve and the small team the company set up in San Francisco last December have gone their separate ways.
“Jeff [Gates] and I are working on indie games again,” ex-Valve employee Tod Semple told IGN. “We were working for Valve in a remote office in San Mateo. It turned out that there weren't many benefits for either side in that arrangement.
“Valve was super cool about it and is letting us continue to work on our game and is also giving us the office. So Jeff and I are starting up a new company called Temple Gates Games.”
Valve also issued a statement to IGN.
“We were big fans of their prior work. We worked with them during their startup phase, but they’re independent now and still working on their game. We wish them the best of luck.”
In December 2012 Valve hired a pair of San Francisco-based former PopCap developers, Jeff Gates and Tod Semple.
“The guys who did PvZ, down in the Bay Area. We’re helping them set up a Valve subsidiary there,” Valve co-founder Gabe Newell told Edge at the time.
