I don’t think they care much about general public expectations, they released Alyx with general public not even having an option to play it. If HL3 will ever be released by the current Valve it will be a game they are proud of themselves to produce.
Comment on A 2003 complaint about Half Life 2
fluckx@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoHalf life 3 will simply never live up to the hype/fantasy people have for it ( I think ).
After all this time I feel they’re either never going to release it, or release it when the bar from the public becomes… Realistic.

That was maybe true once, but it’s fading into nothing but a meme. Half life is just not relevant for newer generations.
But that may just be the opportunity… Giving them a reason to care.

We said the same thing about Baldur’s Gate and then BG3 sold gangbusters. It’s possible.
