After the hit zombie shooter was released Valve bought the studio and it became Valve South.

Not long after, many of the staff were absorbed into Valve's Washington head offices and the studio closed.

The former studio head Michael Booth is back at the helm after an amicable split with Valve although it is not known what projects they are working on.

Thanks Develop.
