Left 4 Dead developer brought in-house

Zombie dental plans are sub-par
Valve has grown the size of its development base with the purchase of Californian developer Turtle Rock Studios. Turtle Rock is hard at work on Left 4 Dead, a cooperative zombie shooter due this year.

"We have been seeing very strong growth with Steam and Source, our content distribution and development platforms, up over 150% over the last 12 months. Given our expectations for Left 4 Dead and our long-standing relationships with members of the Turtle Rock team, this was an easy decision. It also gives us a base from which to expand our development activities in the Los Angeles area," said Gabe Newell, president of Valve.

This is a relatively small purchase, but with Valve continually growing as a publisher nowadays, you have to wonder how big the company will grow.
