A Brief Message to Valve Software

September 27, 2013 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

Dear Valve Software Executives,

I have been following with great anticipation your three-part series of excited announcements this week. Your Linux-based operating system, cleverly called SteamOS, sure sounds fascinating, although I personally don’t want to “bring the Steam experience…into the living-room” because my wife is watching TV in there. For the same reason, I also have little interest in your new series of hardware to play games on, nor am I personally excited about your new game controller.

To be honest, when you hinted that you had three big announcements coming up, I was expecting something a little different. I mean, I have to admire the scope of your vision, but

Half-Life 3 Motherfucker!
Do you have it?

I mean, Jesus Christ! We’ve been waiting almost six fucking years since the last Half-Life game! You said the next one would be out in 2008, but you gave us nothing. Every time E3 rolls around, we hope for a hint, a morsel, some fucking clue that you still care about your oldest and longest-running fanbase. And yet you disappoint us year after year after year. After year after year after year.

If you sadistic lazy fucks aren’t going to release the next Half-Life game, just let us know so we can get on with our lives! Is that so fucking hard?
