Steam community is voting for "Half-Life 2" to get of what they're hoping for the game that deserves a sequel and the steam has to agree with them. Head on over to Steam right now and cast the vote for Half-Life 2 to tell Valve how everyone still wants 'Half-Life 3.'
"Maybe 'Half Life 3' is one big campaign lasting longer than a day that consists of all the valve games inside one story; it's the ultimate Valve universe game. Who knows you might be Gordon teaming up with Chell plowing through hordes of zombies in Aperture?"- stated by Reddit.
Steam came up with something happened where they lost ideas and direction and now it's been so long and people has such outlook for the game that whatever they do will be disappointing. So they probably canceled without saying anything. Valve has stopped being a game developer a long time ago. They now focus on micro-transactions and publishing. And their utter refusal to even say that the "Half-Life 2" franchise is dead is nonsensical.
Maybe the G-man has entered our world through a different dimension and corrupted Valve. We will never see "Half-life 3" until someone tries doing something about it. The right man at the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
Sad to say, don't expect Valve to change any internal plan because of hundreds of Steam awards votes. But it's a screaming voice for them that quite a lot of people would like to play a "Half Life 3" game since nine years after Half Life 2 came out.
Valve has received the message from their steam players, users, gamers and fanatics that they are still longing for the sequel of "Half Life 3."
