It is amazing how Half Life fans are able to wait more than a decade for Valve to announce on Half Life 3. Even though that has yet to happen, the fans continue to believe that Half Life 3 will get produced eventually.
For the new generation of gamers, most of them are wondering on why Valve refuses to pass Half Life 3 project to a third party developer. After all, doing so will see Half Life 3 getting released while not deterring Valve from its existing projects.
Of course, that might sound like a win-win situation but both Valve and the Half Life fans won’t agree to it. This is because it will destroy the Half Life series entirely.
For the fans, they believe that only Valve knows how Half Life 3 is supposed to be like. Also, the fans trust that only Valve can deliver a magnificent Half Life 3 game. If the project is passed on to another developer, it will completely change the Half Life series.
Besides, it is pretty obvious that Half Life 3 is going to create a global phenomenon when released. There is no way for Valve to miss out on being credited for this.
