Gotta love Valve's sense of humor.

Saw a story this morning about Valve making changes to Steam, and it made me think about Half-Life 3.

Has Valve just stopped making video games, and are only focused on digital distribution?

We know they haven't, so why the long silence on HL2:Ep3 and HL3?

Are these two long awaited sequels in danger of becoming the next Duke Nukem Forever?

Odd. I type that thought above, and then this comes across the ticker.

What the hell is Valve thinking... they can't be hurting for money... this is starting to smell like 3dRealms complete lack of management and leadership.

And how is Dota2 doing? I haven't heard much about it, League of Legends keeps growing, and some random person the other day said in my presence, "This is why Dota2 sucks" in regard to some thing or another.

DOTA2 is a hit.

I've heard their community is even worse than LoL's...

HL3 will not be a VR release.

No, but seriously, WTF is going on with HL2:Ep3 and HL3?

Article.

There's been a lot of mounting evidence that HL3 is in the works at Valve.

The Black Mesa company in Boston is a very weird connection. They seem absolutely legit, but why all the HL stuff in their page code?

Guess we'll find out if this is real September 30th.

Mike Straw: “Half-Life 3 is a Steam Machine launch title, with Steam hardware set for spring 2026.”
He's a gaming journalist. I'll believe it when I see it.

And if it's true, Valve can suck a massive bag of dicks.

1. Not really Valve's style.
2. I don't think "games exclusive to the Steam Machine" will be or even can be a thing.

I'm with you that it'd be a massive dick move, but I don't think it'll play out that way.
