I might actually have some sort of cardiac event.
Comment on Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter

1000 IQ power move: Valve promotes a fake game with fake trailers and fake reviews.
Day of the release approaches.
People buy and fire it up.
Starting screen says “Half Life 3”.
Thousands die from a stroke.

If it’s literally the first thing on startup, anyone annoyed can just refund it

As long as they don’t do pre-orders they’re fine.

I'd like a HL3, but not yet another competitive pvp game. So not sure if that would be the right approach if they can't even hit the same target audience.

I’m inclined to agree with you, but Valve doesn’t often miss

Valve hasn’t released nothing but tech demos since Artifact, and that was a huge miss. And excluding Artifact, Valve hasn’t released nothing but tech demos in over a decade. So you could say Valve hasn’t hit the mark in over 10 years.

Alyx came out 4 years ago, and is recognized as one of the best VR titles of all time. It's a full 15 hour game, so not a tech demo. I'd say that's a hit.

The double negative hurt my heart here

HL Alyx and Dota Underlords aren’t tech demos lol.

They don’t often shoot either. I would agree when they do shoot they tend to hit though. At minimum, it’ll be interesting to see what the studio with such a large stream of revenue finally decides to release. Even if it’s horrible, it’ll be a moment to remember.
