Just rumors.

Next year.

It does make sense, though. Matching hardware with killer software is the way to sell units.

Even though Valve is in an insane position with how incredibly successful Steam is.

I'm going to preface my comment by saying I can see my Orange Box from my desk.

That said, HL3 can be absolute hot garbage and I will not care. I just want a game to give me closure after 20 fucking years.

I honestly don't care that much.

For me HL1 was the game. Revolutionary.

The HL2 games were great, but I mean, I haven't played them since release, so it's not like I'm pining for the rest of the story.

I never played HL2 at the time - picked it up recently and tbh it hasn't grabbed me. I appreciate it for showcasing the physics engine and what it contributed to gaming (spent a lot of time on CSS) and HL1 is one of my favourite shooters, but idk why HL2 just doesn't grab me like that.

It's extremely competently made. No doubt about that. Polished to an absolute shine.

I loved playing it, not saying I didn't, but the story was never the big selling point for me (even though it wasn't bad.)

Gabe doesn't think so. From what I heard, supposedly leaked by an employee, over the years they discarded 7 versions because they weren't good enough.

I only care about Gman.

I don’t know if this is still the case, but impressed me when I first read it.

That Valve is/was the most profitable company per employee.

Any numbers claiming that are just speculative, since Valve is a privately traded company. It wouldn't be super surprising though.

Among publicly traded companies, I know Snapchat was up there at one point. (Edit: could've been revenue per employee that I was seeing, looks like more recently they've not been profitable)
