It has been 10 years since Half Life 2 was released and fans have been tirelessly waiting for Half Life 3. The buzz on the highly anticipated third sequel does not look like quieting down at all and this left some gamers wondering on whether there is the possibility of Half Life 3 to be a failure.
Well the answer is yes. There is a possibility for the game developer, Valve, to make a loss with Half Life 3. For starters, the super long waiting period will mean that the number of gamers that knows about the franchise will slowly deplete due to age. This can be a massive loss for Valve as the fans are the primary target audience for Half Life 3.
Also, things can go into turmoil if Half Life 3 comes with a lacklustre gameplay on a sub-par graphics with poor quality storyline. On the other hand, Half Life 3 will still sell well even if the latter is the case but don’t expect the fans to root for Valve any longer after that.
The final possible factor that can lead to a failure with Half Life 3 is if Valve force multiplayer online play into the game. The single player storyline was left in a cliff-hanger for more than a decade now and having to continue with a partner(s) will surely destroy the gaming experience, thus causing a loss.
