“The original Half-Life took us two years to develop,” said Gabe Newell, managing director, Valve. “With a considerably larger team Half-Life 2 took us six years to develop, so we thought if we were going to continue our trend with Half-Life 3 we would basically ship after we had all retired. We’re trying to come up with a better way of getting more timely updates to our customers and also come up with something that didn’t have the complexities. Projects increased logarithmically with how much we tried to do, so if you tried to put twice as much content or technology into a box it ends up taking you four times the amount of work, right, and so we’re trying to figure out a better solution.”

Dupa cum se observa, se pare ca HL2 nu va mai avea un urmas … sau cel putin nu in forma la care ne asteptam. CS (initial aparut ca MOD pentru HL) a avut un succes impersionant, probabil unul dintre cele mai jucate FPS-uri. Si HL2 a avut succes dar, mult mai mic decat vechiul CS (in special Condition Zero si Source). Un HL3 cu siguranta va avea si mai putin succes, asa ca … altceva !!!
