      By the time H3 comes out your great great great grand children will be reminiscing about how games once were about gameplay and plot and not the 100th version of Call of Duty or Assassins Creed. I’d say Madden too but let’s face it no one will play it 150 years from now unless it’s VR.

        Nah, I’m willing to bet HL3 will come out (at the latest) 5 years after Gaben’s death. Not because he’s witholding it, obviously, but because whoever comes next will probably try to make as much money as possible and that’s an easy first way to do it.

            I’m still holding out hope that Valve becomes a worker-owned coop when Gaben goes. Internally they’ve been structured that way for years, without traditional “management,” everyone having moving desks where they work on whatever they feel motivated by and most useful at, etc.
