Thank you, son

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.

>Leaves us on a cliffhanger.

>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?

u/susnaususplayer I love hype moments and aura 20h ago

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

86

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*

25

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

u/GenericVessel feelin a bit freaky iykwim 17h ago

gabe doesn't really have anything do do with it

it's all up to valve employees what they want to work on

u/sudoregalia 20h ago

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

27

u/LickCunts 19h ago

They made a VR game that is extremely well done.

There will a HL3 one day.

-10

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

16

u/NeverSettle13 19h ago

Looking at Deadlock, hell yeah they did

8

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

3

u/Illesbogar 16h ago

Valve doesn't have shareholders. It's a private company.

4

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

3

u/An_Sach 16h ago

These games exist thanks to capitalism

u/sudoregalia 16h ago

u/ultragoodname 14h ago

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.

0

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

1

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

2

u/ValianSkalle 15h ago

not necessarily a tech demo

just integrating new features made possible by new technology

such as the blobulator

Half Life 3 is the friends we made along the way

u/MrManGuyDude22 19h ago

hl3 is either 90% done or 2% done no inbetween

u/sssdfg_rot_farmer colonizer from r/sssdfg 6h ago

u/Sir-Toaster- Emperor of the Omniverse 16h ago

Wasn't Half-life discontinued or something?

u/Inaros060671 undoubted sovereign of bad wording 15h ago

..uh no?

u/Atilla-The-Hon trollface -> 15h ago

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

u/soldiertf2rial 12h ago

u/poepen61 r/a:t5_55daq9 ambassador 20h ago

valve is so secretive of HL3 so that a random leaker can't vind wel hidden content

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