Congratulations you broke it! Please wait while we work on.
Meh.
When they release game details I'll get excited.
It's also the riskiest game since...well...i'd say ever. The expectations from people are higher then a motherf*cker.
Should they just not bother because they're too scared?
Risk of disappointing people vs Risk of no cash whatsoever
...no risk at all
Have valve ever made a bad game though?
cripple the franchise
lose them a good chunk of their fans.
Even in business terms a sucky HL3 would cost them more cash then no HL3 at all
EA went from cool games to sucky mc suckerson.
A company lives and dies by it's last title, just a fact.

LOL! WTF?
Hahaha, why haven't EA melted into the ground then?
Rubbish.
Small companies, yep. Not behemoths like Valve.
so you're claiming that if, for example, GTA V was a mediocre game at best, it wouldn't affect their future in any meaningful way? If you thought GTA V was sh*t, you'd still buy GTA 6 with a smile?
It won't be shit. This is Valve, who regularly delay games they're making because they don't like them. Valve, who patch and support games years after they're released, and regularly, too.
HL3 has taken this long because Valve are working on Source 2. HL3 will be another excellent release by a company with a proven track record of supporting the PC gaming industry. I mean, shit, look at Portal 2. It's fucking brilliant.
A lot of people would, yes. and FYI GTA5 creamed its development costs in pre-review pre-orders alone.

Not changing my argument, you just take everything way too literally
