When do you see some real game made by Valve? This is now another company, they cannot do by own HL3... they don't have people to this and this is a different time for this company, and hire another company for this will be catastrophic. They mixed scenario and even they don't know how to do with the world of HL. Fans have too many requirements about HL3, too much hype, and hate, no one dares to do HL3. HL3 will be created when people forget and there is no pressure to play, and fears of hate and lose money.
