Valve
News Network Tweets that writers Erik Wolpaw and Jay Pinkerton have left
their jobs at Valve. It turns out they are only half-right, as
Pinkerton
and
Wolpaw
both followed up with tweets saying Pinkerton is still at Valve. Noting Wolpaw's
writing credits include
Portal,
Portal 2, both
Half-Life 2
expansions,
Left 4 Dead 2,
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and
Psychonauts,
Polygon reached him for comment, and he told them "I'm gonna move back to
Cleveland and work at my niece's juice shop." He is also presumably still
contributing to the upcoming
Psychonauts 2. Wolpaw came to Valve's
attention as a writer on
Old Man Murray,
a gaming site he cofounded along with Chet Faliszek, who remains as a writer at
Valve.
