People aren't so pissed about nothing, I think those that are not aware of what exactly took place need to go back and take a look at where the game was, what they said, all of their advertisements that were around it, Not so cool for screwing over your customers, and that is what it equates to. "we wanted to do something compelling " cool, for sticking with your "vision" It's them saying f**k you and feeling their culture is much much more important than simply following through on a third episode, that's amongst the greatest absolute bullshit I've EVER heard.ġ5 different excuses, in a bunch of different ways: "oh it's our culture, oh it's this, oh, it's the engine" They didn't have to do anything different, simply not leave us with a cliffhanger and not follow through on the promise, AND THEY DID PROMISE, 3 episodes. I don't buy the argument(s) against not finishing the third episode. Asking them to put that aside to create a sequel. Far from it, but it is unique and that uniqueness is a big part of how the games they have created were created. I am not saying that every developer should work the way Valve does, nor that it is the perfect developer. Which would end up with a game that was not created in the same spirit as the genius of the originals. So to make it happen one would have to change the work culture within valve to force through a project that people were not interested in making. People probably considered it several times throughout the years, but it never materialized into anything substantial. Yes there have been reports of concepts that never made it far enough, but that is kind of the point. The reason Episode 3 and Half-Life 3 never happened is because there was not enough interest within the company creatively to actually create it. Now that makes for some incredibly unique creative teams where people genuinely work on something they want to work on.

And generally you are supposed to be free to work on whatever project interests you as a developer. Instead they all have desks with wheels so they can freely move from project to project. Valve is famous for none of the developers having offices, supposedly including Gabe Newell.
Half life 2 episode 3 is never coming out plus#
One could easily argue that one of the major reasons that Half-Life 1 and Half-Life 2 plus it's DLC episodes were that good was because the culture within valve was they way it was. Because that would mean the games, would be entirely different. However you would potentially not have wanted half-life 3 if the culture within valve was different. You, and a lot of other people, want Half-Life 3. I think you are entirely missing the argument I was trying to make.
