We all deserve Half-life 3 from Valve at this point

I say that with Duke Nukem Forever actually announced, shown, and with a tentative release schedule that isn't some intangible date, you should be thanking your stars for one impossible game before wishing for another.

As long as we give our money to them, we will always deserve games.
 
I'm still hoping for an Episodes Three tho.

No, they need to expand the Mac section of the store to include games that aren't simplistic tower defense games nobody gives a fuck about like Plants Vs. Zombies.

We deserve absolutely nothing. This is not how this works dawg.

 He doesn't deserve it, as everyone seems to feel the need to continually point out (probably because similar discussions have taken place on the bombcast (ohh shit)), but he's free to be pissed off at investing a lot time and money into a story that he wants to see completed sometime in the next 10 years. But there's nothing you can do about it, if you don't like valve, vote with your wallet (another comment ripped straight from games podcasts), not that it'll make any difference as valve too big now and can risk loosing a few fans to make another sweet-ass installment .
 
I dont mind waiting - hell i'm a theoretical physicist practically because of half life

Valve gave us steam. They've done more than enough for pc gamers, but I agree hl3 would be nice.

There will obviously be a product called Half-Life 3 at some point.  HL remains their flagship product.  The talk about the episodes counting as HL3 was marketing spin - it's not like they're gonna just skip to HL4 or something.  
 
There was a 6 year gap between HL and HL2, and it's been 6 years since HL2 came out, so it isn't crazy late or anything like that.  You'll get HL3 when they replace the Source engine, which'll probably be dictated by console hardware at this point, sadly.

PC Gamer recently did an interview with Gabe Newell and two other guys from Valve and when he posed the question of where is Half-Life 3 to the guys, there was just this awkward pause and nobody wanted to really answer this question. I'm a little disappointed that Valve hasn't announced or said anything about Episode 3, I don't really care about the Left 4 Dead games or Portal 2, I just want the story of Half-Life 2 to be finished then Valve can do whatever they want with their other franchises.
