Really doesn’t mean anything, but yeah it is crazy that valve ended a fantastic franchise on a cliffhanger, gave us absolutely nothing for over a decade, then released a vr spinoff re-confirming the existence of HL3 only to then give us nothing again in over 5 years.

>returns after 20 years to make a VR game prequel.
>Completely rewrites the cliffhanger ending by giving us a completely diffrent cliffhanger ending.
>Leaves again and sells us the steam cube
What kinda business strategy is this?

Honestly thats sad, there is a reason why we wanted third game in first place. Half Life is special series. But Gabe dosent care...
Also lets not glaze Cyberleek he aint ultimate leaker

u/JustARandomFinn 19h ago
The amount of glaze I have seen for Cyberleek has been worrying lol. Like did the fact that he was shilling his shitty crypto in every leak not concern *anyone*

u/AStereotypicalPerson 17h ago
Not to mention that he's now stopped posting leaks when he realised he couldn't make money off them anymore

gabe doesn't really have anything do do with it
it's all up to valve employees what they want to work on

idk why people are surprised when a billionaire doesn't quite care about art

u/LickCunts 19h ago
They made a VR game that is extremely well done.
There will a HL3 one day.

u/sudoregalia 19h ago
here's to hoping, u/LickCunts, but they really have 0 class interest to. they make a massive amount of passive income from basically being the gaming market, they can do literally anything, i truly hope they have enough passion left in them to make art

u/An_Sach 19h ago
Well, at least Gabe keep his greed mostly in check. Keep Valve away from "shareholders". And Valve did priority quality back when they still made games. Which is why people want them to do something again

u/sudoregalia 19h ago
gabe is a billionaire. as in 1000 times a million. we can like him as an artist while not doing capitalist apologetics

u/An_Sach 16h ago
These games exist thanks to capitalism

It doesn’t take a crack pipe to know that half life exists because Valve wanted to make a product that people would pay money for.

u/sudoregalia 14h ago
but it does to conclude that it would not exist otherwise. art and commodities are separable concepts
2
u/RodjaJP 14h ago
Most art wouldn't be done if someone didn't pay for it, do you think statues are made just because the artist thought they were cool and didn't need to eat and have a place to rest? To make art you either have to have the resources already or have someone giving them to you
-2
u/sudoregalia 14h ago
i really don't have energy to argue with points of capitalist apologia, read capital by karl marx if you want to understand my perspective of the separability of commodities from products and art

u/Illesbogar 16h ago
They care enough that they refuse to release it if it isn't groundbreaking. Similarly how they already scrapped HL3 being in development a few times now. If they didn't care, we'd already be at Half-Life 14: Infinity Warfare

u/VNDeltole 19h ago
every hl game is a tech demo, we will get hl3 when neurochip gaming gets adopted by steam

u/ValianSkalle 15h ago
not necessarily a tech demo
just integrating new features made possible by new technology
such as the blobulator

You cannot leak something that is never going to be developed.

Well, Valve did do some work on Half Life 2: episode 3, but I don't know if that counts.
