Though the way the leaker describes it makes it sound more like a 3rd person MOBA than a hero shooter.

    1000 IQ power move: Valve promotes a fake game with fake trailers and fake reviews.

    Day of the release approaches.

    People buy and fire it up.

    Starting screen says “Half Life 3”.

    Thousands die from a stroke.

      I’d like a HL3, but not yet another competitive pvp game. So not sure if that would be the right approach if they can’t even hit the same target audience.

          They don’t often shoot either. I would agree when they do shoot they tend to hit though. At minimum, it’ll be interesting to see what the studio with such a large stream of revenue finally decides to release. Even if it’s horrible, it’ll be a moment to remember.

          Valve hasn’t released nothing but tech demos since Artifact, and that was a huge miss. And excluding Artifact, Valve hasn’t released nothing but tech demos in over a decade. So you could say Valve hasn’t hit the mark in over 10 years.
