I wonder what valves haters now think after Half Life Alyx was released.

Before, anytime you'd mention valve people would flip and say valve doesn't make games anymore or half life 3 is never coming.

After HLA released I haven't seen it anywhere. Even Epic shills feel like they've died out.

I mean, technically Half Life 3 still hasn't been released. Half Life Mutt can be more aptly referred to as "Half Life 1.5" since it's a prequel and not direct sequel to Half Life 2.

People who have the energy to talk about the "retcon" are either ESL or that one faggot trying to shill his youtube

Honestly is it even a retcon? Personally I took it as in that moment Gman snatched Alyx and put her in a semi stasis, and took her back years to soften her up. After all he is powerful enough to do it.

Nice flop

>Gordon sees Eli die, something that G-Man sees as Gordon failing his assignment or show incapability
>G-Man merges timelines by tricking Alyx into using the gravity gloves, which have *always* been in G-Man's suitcase
>When Gordon recovers from passing out, Eli is also surprised he is now alive, but notices Alyx gone
>HL3 begins on the hunt for G-Man

I just watched beta build ending from VNN (stream vod deleted I found a download) and they had the ending much more long and Eli looked super surprised he was alive.

HL3 never did come and all we got was a VR tech demo. Valve is dead and its corpse is being raped by Campo Santo.

Valve for the past several years has been an esports company that prioritized maintaining micro transactions and tournaments. There's not a lot worth admiring when that's all a game company commits it's time and effort to.
