    Valve devs said “we are not working on, and have no plans to re-start work on Half-Life 3” in the recently released HL2 audio commentary. How much clearer to they have to be?

    also, go play HL2 with the commentary on, it was awesome and worth the re-visit

    Valve insider Tyler McVicker

    Yeah nah. He spins wild rumors for clicks, he’s no insider. I’ll wait for a reliable source.

      Yeah, he was such a nuisance to Valve and their employees that Valve made a public statement on their twitter calling him out by name to “remind” the public that he had no exclusive insider information and was just a “passionate gamer”.

      Tyler got so butthurt that he changed his entire branding away from Valve News Network, swore he’d never cover Valve games again (that didn’t last very long), and to this very day closes his videos with a signoff of “Tyler McVicker, passionate gamer”

    Should be on patient gamers as well.

    But I’m not holding my breath. Also if this person had any connection with valve they probably don’t any more.

      Tyler McVicker has such a good connection with Valve that years ago they made a post on their official twitter calling him out by name to state that he had no exclusive or insider information, labeling him just a “passionate gamer”.

      His youtube name was fucking Valve News Network. He swore to never cover Valve games again, which lasted all of maybe three months.

    This seems like too much complexity, given how small (relatively) Valve is. Then again, Valve is always hard to predict. Basically all their projects are wild moon-shots in one way or another, half their stuff doesn’t make it to market, and they have a long history of fake leaks.

    Valve doesn’t do that.

    Game one of a series is their test game to see what works.

    Game two is their complete statement in that subject.

    They don’t need a game three.
