Read “Episode 3” for yourself here, and wonder what could have been.įollow me on Twitter and on Facebook. It’s definitely one of the most unusual and unexpected things I’ve seen in quite a while, and will be curious if Valve itself has anything to say one way or the other. But I think this is a nice gesture to fans and the series itself, given the circumstances.
The exact story of what happened to Half-Life over the years despite the massive success of the second game may never come to light, but is likely more complicated than “Valve liked making money from Steam and stopped caring.” Laidlaw seems a bit forlorn that things are ending with just an outline like this, not an actual game, separated from his original team. Except no further correspondence from me regarding these matters this is my final epistle. I expect you know better than I the appropriate course of action, and I leave you to it. I no longer know or recognize most members of the research team, though I believe the spirit of rebellion still persists. Old friends have been silenced, or fallen by the wayside. At this point, the resistance will have failed or succeeded, no thanks to me. Enough time has passed that few remember me, or what I was saying when last I spoke, or what precisely we hoped to accomplish. It has been a circuitous path to lands I once knew, and surprising to see how much the terrain has changed.
While it’s interesting, it’s almost a bit sad, and the last paragraph especially reads as a message to fans about the game and the team on a meta level:Īnd here we are. I won’t break the post down with a full summary, as I really think if you’re a fan you should just read it yourself.
