Half Life fans have been waiting for years for news about Half Life 3, and some are running out of patience. Some are really wondering just what the hold-up is.
Valve hasn’t said anything official, but this doesn’t stop the gossip. They talk a lot about the potential reasons for this epic delay.
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?
The last proper Half-Life game was HL2, which came out holiday season 2004. In fact I believe it came out the same day as Halo 2. That was a long time ago, going on 10 years. I think we would have had a new HL if they knew what to do with it, but like the article said they may have hit a dead end and maybe were not really looking to keep making HL games. I wish they would just come out and say that they have moved on.
This subject is enough to make a grown man cry.
