    Winds of Winter is absolutely 110% never ever happening. Half-Life 3 could happen at any time some random team in Valve’s flat anarcho-monarchist structure decides they think it’d be fun to make Half-Life 3.

      IMO there have definitely been multiple attempts at HL3 but they’ve all been derailed. Like Half Life: Alyx was probably imagined as HL3 at some point in its development before getting turned into the Valve Index console exclusive.

      Nah, they’re not gonna do a half life 3. They’re gonna do Half Life 4: The Search for, You Know, the Thing. There’s been an entire generation of devs getting their brains cooked by this shit for their whole careers now, and they’re gonna do the funny meme thing of being unable to say 3 in public until it stops being funny, starts being funny again, gets tiring, and then just becomes kind of impressive they’re still sticking with it.
