[QUOTE=Scratch.;48424572]Knowing valve, it would probably actually be like [URL="http://sharex.moe/i/2015/08/15-08-11_04-07-22.png"]this[/URL] saving money[/QUOTE] Half-Life 3 has such memetic hype at this point that they probably COULD do that and make billions of dollars just the same.
I don't understand the logic behind "no one cares about HL3 anymore." My fucking ass, as soon as it's announced the people saying that are going to go just as apeshit as everyone else. It's going to front page on Kotaku, IGN, Gameinformer, PCGamer, every single big videogame media site will feature it. It's going to be on the front page of Steam, where even if someone somehow doesn't know what HL3 is, a bigass advertisement on the home page of steam will attract their attention. Cross promotion TF2 and Dota 2 cosmetics drawing in even more sales and attention just from item queens. [b]It will be big no matter what.[/b]

Between Steam and their booming cosmetic stores, they have ZERO need to make a singleplayer game, as a business. Also friendly reminder that every time you buy like ten games that you don't really want but are great deals or buy a stupid hat for 5 bucks with the thought "it's just one purchase" you're contributing to this. Same mindset that causes half of the populace to not vote during election season. Your vote DOES count, be it by ballot or wallet.
I just want it to show up on Steam some day. No previous announcement. No hype. Not a single peep. It should just appear.
they should just casually release it on steam without any notice, and watch the internet shitstorm

[QUOTE=tempunary;48433275]Every thread someone says this[/QUOTE] Yes but they should just put it on steam and not announce it

[QUOTE=Perrine;48434685][I]Published by Konami.[/I][/QUOTE] New pachinko machine for HL?
I don't know why people keep simulating these press conferences, when Valve has yet to hold one. Gabe had a guest appearance at Sony's E3 presser and that was it.
[QUOTE=TechnoSandwic;48435140]New pachinko machine for HL?[/QUOTE] A physical pachinko machine on half life is not that far off, I mean it's far off, but there was a portal arcade machine and asked a company could they make a pinball machine. Someone could ask people in valve hardware if a april fools pachiko machine is possible.

I want Gabe Newell to ram through the wall of the stage with a big van with a valve on top and the HL3 logo on the side, comes to a screeching halt, gets out of the car wearing a HEV suit and wielding a crowbar and just murders the microphone with the crowbar. Doesn't explain anything or show any footage, just leaves the stage.
