Steam updated every Half-Life related program this morning. Anyone know what's up with that?

Okay guys, the jig is up... the truth is, we Australians have been playing Half-Life 3 this whole time and just haven't told you about it.

@Mullon: Sounds like standard practice: every time TF2 has to be updated, CS:S, DOD:S, HL2 and other Source 2007 games have to be updated.

[up] But why was it only games related to Half-Life 2 (Half-Life 2, Episode One, Episode Two, Portal) that got updated?

They probably updated the Source engine for some reason or other. Or maybe a bug in one HL 2 weapon, etc. Could be anything those games share.

PS: It updated HL 2 Deathmatch too.

...But what if TF 2, L 4 D and L 4 D 2 didn't update this time? What if it was just the Half Life and Portal games? What would that mean?

That doesn't seem like a Source update to me. Presumably, if Source updated, TF 2, and the Left Four Dead games would also have updated. It probably wouldn't have affected the first Half Life either, because the original didn't use Source. If it was a change to a Half Life gun, it wouldn't have affected the Portal games.

Okay, ENOM Inc is a domain name registration company.

it's a countdown to 3/3/2013. Funny.

Keep your hopes down for now people.

EDIT: Update was for Big Picture bugs.

Especially since Episode 3 has been cancelled, and they're working on a full Half-Life 3.

If it comes out in 20 years, I'll still buy it. Whether it's Ep 3 or full on #3. I just hope they actually do start with the Helicopter ride and continue where Ep 2 ended.

I will never forgive Valve for, what, losing interest in the middle of their story?

At the same time I'll probably have to buy HL 3 to see what happens.

Which is foolish. It's not like they've concluded the Half-life series satisfactorily yet.

I am hopeful that it will have a good conclusion.

I'm less hopeful that the game will come out at all.

They haven't lost interest. They just keep thinking that it's not good enough.

Valve's a good company. They were doing the same thing with HL 2, and we all know what we got.

It'll be worth the wait.

Some guy on Steam with the power to make announcements decided to troll Steam by making a false announcment about Half Life 3. Needless to say, the community got pissed.

[up]Ah, but you see, mate, that's the problem. They already have. All the money, that is. I am not sure what the graph of all the digital downloads platforms looks like but I would be willing to wager that the bit that represents Valve's Steam service towers over all the others like a colossus.

In short, they don't ever need to make Half Life 3 Episode 3 Electric Boogaloo - they are already minted.
