It's funny how people think Valve has just forgotten about Half-Life.
My guess is it will just randomly show up in the store one day with 0 announcement.

Eh, sure.  I don't see why not.  Not like it does anything else in my library anyway.

Oh god yeah that'll show Valve!!

It's sure gonna garner media attention, but it definitely won't do anything lol.  If they decide to even make a move based on this it'll still take years to make episode 3.

I dont even understand how this would garner media attention lol. Why would anyone read, or even care in general, about this event...

This seems worse than the L4D2 Boycott.

THATS HALF A WIFE YOU WILL NEVER HAVE DUE TO EVENTS LIKE THIS

[CityRPG]

I never enjoyed the Half-Life series and I do not anticipate on buying the new one, if it ever comes out.

"Oh I say Developer 2, look at all these people playing Half-Life 2!"

"Indeed Developer 1, they must really want Episode 3."

"Well then let's work on it faster, shall we?"

"Excellent idea!"

(Spoiler: This won't happen)

Oh no I meant like electronic news media...
...like PC Gamer... and... yeah.

Not CNN or anything, god no.

Even if HL3 is released, I can guarantee that it'll be a COMPLETE let down.

Come to think of it, I don't think I want a continuation either.  Something about Duke Nukem Forever being a huge letdown and miserable failure makes me think there is now a curse in the gaming industry regarding long-lost sequels.
