Half-Life 3 Rumour Mill

I have a feeling that if HL3 released it would be supremely disappointing and better left unmade.
Kind of like movies with sequels that come out 20 years later and fail to hit the mark almost spoiling the original.

I guess this is one of the reasons for Valve's reluctance.. they would want HL3 to be spectacular and groudbreaking in some way.. and if it's not going to be that.. then they just won't release anything.. It's not like they need the money with the revenue stream that is the Steam store..

I just want the story finished off. I'd have been quite content with more along the lines of Episode 2.

Steam managed to deliver with Half Life:Alyx. Nearly five years after release it's still regarded as one of the very best VR games.

Indeed. There is a story to finish, so it's not as though they have nothing to work with and need to come up with a reason for a pointless sequel.

Exactly this. And this all adds to hype.
