It's just so transparent how people are getting emotional and that's overpowering their reason. They just want to vent but it just results in spouting bullshit. Not that it's unreasonable to be emotional or upset after hearing the news, but still, Half-Life isn't any more or less dead than it has been.

We already know the main writer for the series left, we already knew their were plans for an Episode 3 that likely got cancelled. There is no new information here, whether there is a Half-Life 3 is still just as up in the air and somebody who used to run the series posting the original plot mock up, and who doesn't even work at the company anymore, has no bearing on the current state of Valve.

This guy left Valve a while ago. This doesn't tell us anything new about the state of the series.

He already posted the whole plot, not to mention the series has been DOA for over a decade.

Of Episode 3, which they obviously scrapped.

So they are just going to skip an entire part of the series?

No, but if they're drastically changing the scope of the game they'll certainly have to rework the plot.

And that will take another decade and by that point no one will even care anymore.

Pretend your valve. What would you rather do. Take community created cosmetic skins. Stick them in a rng box. Only pay the content creators 15% of the rng box cost. And make hundreds of millions.

Or spend countless hours and money on something that will make less money and be ripped to shreds for every miniscule mistake because the gaming community is unpleasable.

Sure it's not anymore dead than it was two weeks ago, but it is one more piece of evidence for those in denial to accept.

I don't agree with this but this website is waaay too cynical to see my point of view. I'll try anyway though:

People do things to satisfy their creative drive sometimes, even if they don't have monetary incentive to do so.

Valve doesn't anymore, they haven't since Portal 2

Who cares, Half-Life has been dead for a long time now, the episodes were not good, and the story has been sitting for a decade now.

Dead. Valve has other priorities now and Half life just isn't one of them.

I think it's more that all their income reduces their incentive to hurry. If you have a lot of money you still might want to make your creative masterpiece, but there is no immediacy anymore.

What hurrying? It has been over a decade. If it isn't out now it is not coming out, and even if it does it will just end up being shit.

Does anyone care right now? People who have nostalgia for HL games have been waiting so long they might not even give damn anymore, and people that played that game way after its release don't consider HL games anything more than nice old game.

I did. It was fun gameplay and a great story. But Valve and Gabe shit all over that so they could sell hats.
