This is an interesting take, especially coming from a non-gaming focused tech website like Ars Technica. I feel like it’s been too long since people were truly hyped about half life 3 though, and this wouldn’t be enough, even if Valve did go through with it.
People are increasingly unhappy with windows though, and the EoL of windows 10 may push people to Linux anyways.
Yeah, stupid memes are exactly what we need. Just like the cybertruck was exactly the meme tesla needed, right?
I don’t know who the fuck even wrote this trash, and I’m not dignifying the article with a click to find out, but I’m dumber now just for having read the title.
Ars Technica is a pretty well respected tech news site, which is basically the only reason I considered sharing this to begin with. They cite that we know a new Half Life game is in development, and the critical role that half life played in the foundation of steam as a game platform in general.
Overall it’s a much better article than the title would otherwise suggest.
