There won't be any HL3 until Valve figure out how to put microtransactions into single player game that won't be "but ammo for guns" that everyone will hate.

This wont make HL3 get released any time soon.

Someone just has to fatnap Gabe and tie him to a chair in front of a computer and make him make Half-Life 3. And if he needs help you just kidnap everyone else.

Simple enough.

Gabe will be all like "Oh crap, I was just about to release HL3 but it seems like people are still busy with 1 and 2, maybe next year".

No.

No, but thanks for the offer. Half-Life 2 isn't as fun when I've beaten it like four times.

I already support(ed) them by buying all the HL games, like years ago. As I write this, I realize what an ironic name Half-Life is.

Saw Reddit link, ignored Reddit link.
They needed to find a way to implement multiple Freeman's for co-op, since single-player is such a bad thing coughSimcitycough these days.

This has been done before, yes

It will be the best game of the century

I can think about thanking Valve when they finally move from their fat asses and punish people ruining TF2. Before then, nope, sorry, while they are officially support cheating scum they will not get my money :/

Why? Does Valve really need support? Do they somehow not know that we want Half Life 3? Is there any doubt that there is going to be a HL3 at some point?

It won't be worth the wait if they ditched SP.
