The thing is, I don't for a second think Valve is gonna bat an eyelid to these shenanigans, but it was a cool idea and I got my Zombie Chopper (Ravenholm with the G-Gun) Achievement, after all this time. Booyah! Such a good game still.
Anyway, I'm with the crowd that's basically saying, "at this point all we want to know is whether or not HL2:Episode 3 is still in development (hell) or ever to be expected... ever."
Look, I happily waited for Skyrim after Oblivion, I fully agree that with major sequels to the worlds greatest games, "they'll be done when they're done", and I can wait forever for Half-Life 3, don't really care about it, it's not on my radar. What I'm talking about is Episodic Content that was promised us.
I'd be more happy with an official "stfu it's never coming, wait for HL3" than just never knowing.
Anyway, like I said, I can't say I expect anything official to come out of this, but I like to think it was a worthy cause to spend some of my free time on, and a great game to spend that time on too, regardless of causes.
It's a win-win in my book. I don't know why people be bellyachin' against such things.
