'Seven years after the announcement of Half Life 2: Episode 3, Valve has not spoken about the game and has been avoiding the topic as a whole. The title could not be in development at all, yet fans continue to believe. A new engine, a new game, something huge, something miraculous, but we dare ask ourselves the question – even if the game is officially released at some point in the future will it ever satisfy our desires? Doesn’t prolonged anticipation actually harm the franchise and if it does why hasn’t Valve made any official statement about the game? Here we come to a certain situation we decided to call The Half Life 3 Paradox.' - GamerHeadlines
Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.
First they open Steam up to more AI, now they are shutting down fan projects when at one time they used to support or even give the fans jobs.
Wonder what's going on with Valve at the minute.
There's potential that Valve had already planned to bring Source 2 to TF2 officially after Counter Strike 2. It's been getting some renewed attention lately.
You got Nintendo to thank for Portal64 being taken down. As for TF2, most likely it's due to the probability of Valve working on a source 2 port themselves. It's sucks but Nintendo are the biggest pricks in the business and not letting this drag out into a huge court drama is the best decision.
Valve has updated its stance on AI games on the Steam storefront, allowing creators to publish AI-created games.
Hell no. I want games that have been made by creative minds who have a passion for their craft, not a bot with a penchant for plagiarism.
So instead of paying for an engine and assets to create a game they are paying for an engine and assets to create a game.
Valve has officially warned against inhaling the Steam Deck vent fumes in an official response due to potential health hazards.
Wow people will huff anything nowadays some people just have way too much time on their hands.
Another reason to love the PlayStation Portal, no chance of breathing in noxious vapors.
Get a Steam Deck they said, to which I reply, what are you high?
My most anticipated game... I've literally played through half-life 2 and the episodes about 30 times. I freaking hope they'll release HL3.
Nope... Not for another 25 years...
/s (I really do hope...)
Nope it wont :P
No, it'll never be made. People will not let this go.
Yes.
It will with the new engine.
