And earlier this year, Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Half-Life writer Eric Wolpaw also left Valve. Now there’s a fourth name to add to the list- Jay Pinkerton, whose most notable credit is Portal 2, has left Valve after having worked with the company for almost ten years.

A steady stream of high profile writers has been leaving Valve in the last few months-Chet Faliszek, who worked on Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Half-Life, left Valve after more than 12 years with the company.

Prior to that, Valve writer Marc Laidlaw who had been with the company since its very beginning and the sole writer on Half-Life and Half-Life 2 left.
