i disagree and think it would have been really neat if they explored that idea. they use the portal gun all the time in Garry's mod maps and plenty of them have great gameplay. they would not have been able to make another boomer shooter, that's for sure. but valve is great at innovating when they need to, I don't think encouraging them to keep doing the same thing benefits anyone but their own wallets.
