    Maybe the real Half Life 3 was the friends we made along the way.
  • @sock496
    He went from 1- Being Confident 2- Not Confident 3-Trolling
  • @VitorHunter12
    Me: Dying peacefully at 83 years old Valve the next day: Half-Life 3
  • @indicadierof45
    Gabe Newell's tombstone: "I've got nothing to say about Episode 3"
  • @robogen1331
    It would be fucking hilarious if they just released Half Life 3 on steam without saying anything, no trailer, no announcement. Nothing
  • @eska4935
    valve has the opportunity to post “3” on their social medias and create hype just by making us guess if they’re talking about Portal, Half Life, Dota, or Team Fortress
  • It went from "we're working hard on this!" to "yeah we have a crew on it" and finally "i ain't talking"
  • @scottm7310
    50 years from now: Gabe's grandson: I have nothing to say about Episode 3
  • @desdenova1
    All the HL3 and EP3 memes aren't jokes, they're a generation attempting to cope with loss.
  • @BraveCat9927
    I genuinely want to know what made him abandon it. He treats it like it was a top secret experimental weapon and the government told him to stop.
  • @kenshin6553
    "Half Life 3 is going to have a bunch of stuff you've never seen before." Well, he didn't lie. We still haven't seen it.
  • @coolbeans1998
    This video is 7 years old. It's been almost 20 years.
  • @NecrosVideos
    Seeing him being so excited for the next game, then slowly not wanting to mention it anymore has me sad. I wonder what HL3 would’ve been like.
  • @normund8348
    This is his legacy. Not the man that made Half Life but the man that didnt make Half Life 3.
  • @sErgEantaEgis12
    Imagine if they released Half-Life 3 but with Half-Life 2's engine and assets like there hasn't been 16 years since Half-Life 2: Episode 2.
