A comment on Writer wants to make Portal 3, but Valve's 'flat structure' makes it a challenge. Parent comment
You're ideas are less likely to be vetoed, but good like finding a champion other than yourself.
But I think that it's probably exaggerated - there are always hierarchies, but in this case no attempt has been made to define or force the structure.
I think that the bigger issue is this: Valve is a platform and distribution company, not a games company.
As the platform became the primary product, broad artistic creativity took a backseat.
I don't see it coming back, which is a pity - The Orange Box was exquisite.
