When did it all go so wrong?
20 years ago
Thank God there are dedicated fans like the HDTF devs to carry on the Half-Life legacy
except HL2 was just a source engine tech demo and not a game, you were just too young to realize it at the time
Someone please post the fucking audio of the voice actor leaking that Half Life 3 is releasing/getting revealed this year.
>releasing/getting revealed this year
t. my ass
which is it, is it done or is it in development, assmongler
Valve now:
>running the largest gaming platform
>trying to make a viable Linux gaming platform
>working on source 2 engine and releasing it for free
>working on 3 new games
>making half life/portal movies with JJ abrams
>working on new hardware and technology
>running and updating 2 of the most popular MP games
>working on VR stuff
>steam link
>steam controller
except hl2 was shit and best half-life wasn't even made by valve
Not for Steam, PC gaming wouldn't be as alive.

The signs were there years ago.
What do you expect from a company that stole most of their game ideas from mods or other games and forced people to install their (back then)shitty DRM to play Half life 2.
Steam happened. They don't have to do anything except keep the servers up and they will continue to print money.

Card games and re-releases don't count user
