A couple of years ago, on this very forum, I was ridiculed when I stated Valve would never, ever release HL3 or Ep3. I guess I was right.

I don't think it would be a wise move as well, as they would lose control over that property. It's a stalemate, and I see no possibility for an outcome in which Valve benefits from creating and releasing HL3. Valve is NOT a gaming softwarehouse anymore, it's a digital distribution company who...

Would it financially benefit? I'm not sure. Creating a game means spending time and effort in it - which directly means spending money. If they spend money on HL3 they would get a return of investment X. Would X be more than the money spent on HL3? I doubt it, but let's say for the sake of the...

Regardless of it being a good business decision? Why spend money on releasing this game when most of your development task force is gone, it would be too cost prohibitive and risky to continue development, and the company's energy is now on competitive games, the distribution platform and...

Hey, I also remember another gaming company who announced, a few years ago, a new console architecture with a new controller that also had a screen in the middle for additional commands. Sadly, they did not announce the most important thing: games. I think that console was called the Wii U. I...

The third announcement is the Oculus Rift partnership; the proposed release date and prices, and a bundle with Steam Machines in 2014.
