Half-Life 2: Episode 3 Story Revealed? [Aug 25, 2017, 10:01 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
In a surprise move, a post on
Marclaidlaw.com from former Valve writer Marc Laidlaw offers long-suffering
Half-Life fans some closure with a general story outline of Half-Life 2: Episode 3,
giving a sense for how the unfinished DLC trilogy was supposed to conclude
(thanks MeanJim). It's not clear if this is authorized, as the names of the
characters are all changed, presumably to protect the guilty (the post is
written from the PoV of Gertrude Fremont, Ph.D). Further, the site is now
returning "connection refused" errors, but this may simply be due the server
being overwhelmed by demand, but the
Internet Wayback Machine has a cached copy. Also, addressing both the site's
difficulties and the name alterations, the article is now also
preserved on GitHub
with all the names properly replaced with Valve's IP, which possibly puts the
post in more jeopardy of being shut down. Thanks

Dude, that's the very same dilemma every human faces when walking out their front door every day. Some people will just shit on them, it's called the human condition.
There's no doubt Valve has lost its creative edge, and I'd agree it is unlikely they'll ever get it back. *shrug* They had a good run.
No, it's the *chance* that you'll have a bad day. If everyone was a slave to this baser impulse, no one would ever leave the house. What if your boss shits on you today? What if your girlfriend is mad at you today? Why bother doing anything at all if there's a chance that the outcome could be negative?
This is doubly true in the creative sphere, where artists are by definition trying to make something unique. Some people think that the point of art is to inflame. And I can think of few artistic endeavours that are less inflammatory than making possibly the most eagerly awaited game in history, especially with the billions Valve makes every year. They could easily just put job postings for the best talent in the industry to come work on HL3, and people would break down their front door for the opportunity.
For your transgressions you shall be labeled a shill, called an idiot and anytime you mention facts or disagree with a tribe member you will henceforth be known as a troll. The best you can hope for is that the labels won't haunt your offspring. -RedEye9
