I kind of understand why they don't.
The expectations for that game is soo high that people are going to complain about it nomatter how good a HL3 would be, I think it's impossible to make it good enough to satisfy the fan-base.

I guess they should have thought about that before not giving us HL2: Episode 3...

So sad that Valve isn't really making games anymore. They make many billions selling other people's games, making their own games probably seems like a gamble by now. I guess it was all just a job to them, a means to make money, rather than a passion for making great games.

they made steampunk team fortnite

Also it was based off Portal's DX8 mode for some reason.

That's because these remasters are made with RTX-Remix tools, and it can only work with fixed-function graphics, without programmable shaders. This limitation discards the majority DirectX9 games, except the earliest ones.

That's why most RTX-Remixes are games with a Direct3D 8 mode.

Hahaha, so true. I'm sure many of the people that worked on Half-Life 1 and 2 are no longer with Valve. It's well known that Marc Laidlaw is no longer at Valve, since he released what Half-Life 3's storyline would have been.

Value seems to handle Half-Life like Nintendo handles their core franchises. Valve wants each Half-Life to have a creative spark that revolutionizes the space. So far, VR has been the only idea to bring a new Half-Life to market.

I'm sure most of the Half-Life fanbase already knows about the boat, so I feel like any new entry would need to go much further to intrigue fans. On the other hand, I think the whole point is to never get answers because they'll never be as interesting as the mystery.
