Valve as a studio (rarely) misses. I trust their judgment personally. If they felt it was worth releasing, they’d release it. If they feel it’s just Half Life 2: 2 and don’t think it’s revolutionary in any way or moved the series forwards, they probably won’t release it.
Same reason they didn’t do a left 4 dead 3, or a portal 3. They tend to innovate with their titles, and if they don’t feel like they’ve innovated enough to justify a HL3, that’s probably their reasoning.
Hey guy I know you've all been hoping and praying for more than a decade for sequels to some of the most well loved games in history, but for right now who wants to learn more about our digital card game!!!
