“Development of Half-Life 3 started several times, but ultimately we came to the conclusion that the work was simply boring. And in trying to overcome certain difficulties, the team only reached a dead end,” – explained Gabe Newell.

An industry legend pointed out that the reason why Valve so rarely shares information about their developments, is the unwillingness to further disappoint the audience. Plans are constantly changing and authors Half-life, Left 4 dead and Portal ready to talk about the fruits of their labors only when they have already taken some form and will definitely fall into the hands of the players… The studio takes everything it does as seriously as possible and refuses to release anything “just“.
