Gabe Newell says Valve is developing games again

I just want Left 4 Dead 3

Can't believe it's been almost 10 years since the 2nd one came out. If they focused on competitive multiplayer like CS, it would become the next big eSports title. There's no single game out there that combines FPS with RPG-esque ability characters like L4D does. They could also just as easily add skins to it like CS and print money that way too.

Beat me to it! I've got 745 hours into that game and loved every single one!

How about a new Steam UI first.

I stick with Gwent, thank you.

Don't want a card game. I want HL3. And honestly I don't care about HL3. Just finish the HL2 storyline.

At this point Half Life 3 will end up like Duke Nukem they'll have waited so long it better be the best fucking game ever made or they'll get ripped to shreds by a million angry nerds.

Have they ever explained why they left Half-Life hanging for so long?

They haven't.

But, look at it this way. One of the main reasons why Steam blew up to become a multi-billion dollar property is because of Half-Life 2.

Whenever Valve decides to do something HUGE in the future, like something on par with Steam, they'll explore the possibilities of making HL3 to launch it.

They haven't.

They did actually. Came down to the required technology not being available to implement their wanted gameplay mechanics.

Everybody knows that's just an excuse.

Everybody knows that's just an excuse.

So they did give an explanation.

So they did give an explanation.

Yet, HL3 was in development in 2012, and then the backlash to Mass Effect 3 happened.
