Reddit Hosts Gabe Newell AMA Tomorrow
The Gabe giveth and the Gabe taketh away.
Gabe Newell, President of Valve Corporation, is taking to Reddit to partake in an "Ask Me Anything" session tomorrow, January 17 at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT. You can be that Newell will be getting a ton of questions about last week's Game Informer interview release where an alleged unidentified anonymous Valve employee leveled allegations that Half-Life 3 and Half-Life 2: Episode 3 never existed and will probably never be released.
Newell may choose not to front any questions about the interview at all, but it may finally put him in the position where he has to state whether or not the story of Half-Life will continue or not. With Steam being the world's largest digital software storefront, there's not telling what other questions will be asked.
The AMA will take place on /r/The_Gaben on January 17 at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT. If you want to ask him a question, all you need to do is show up.

Nice, I hope he announces a new game or something cool. This is what tomorrow will look like on Reddit:

:) probably hey LOL. Well if they don't announce a new PC game this year to me it makes no sense what so ever and is just wrong and a total waste of all their power, resources, money and influence.
If I ever made it big and had the money and resources etc I would work on as many video game initiatives as I could and be a part of as many video game causes that I thought would make a difference till the day I die.
I would not just lay in my mega massive swimming pool of money sipping Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Grande Champagne in my Jigger DeMer while smoking my Gurkha Black Dragons.
Huh, who knows what all that money would do to you... I guess I should not judge but it seems crazy to me.
What the heck are they doing with Source 2? I can hear its silent cries :( , that is no way to treat a game engine.

Well Valve never official said those titles are canceled and where never in development and are not being worked on. Same with any other new projects.
Having said that its been so long one could easily assume they checked out and its time to let it go.
All I want is a official statement from Valve saying we no longer develop games, and then I can go on with my life and let them go.
I think Gabe owes that at least and some sort of closure to all the PC gamers that have supported them over the years. As well there needs to be closure over those titles I listed as to their development status and status on Valve's game development in general.
I don't think its too much to ask for, the fact that the company in all honesty has not given a shit in those regards is pretty sad and a terrible way to treat your loyal customers.
Well that is how I feel n the whole matter, I am sure I am not alone.
I really hope there is some sort of point to the AMA other than favorite pizza, favorite under wear, or have you slept with 10 women at the same time while doing cocaine and while you had a VR head set while playing a game. -

Thinks I want to hear about: What games valve is working on/planning on releasing.
Things I dont want to hear about: Gabe's thoughts on the state of [the industry/VR/programming/etc.] -
I think the game informer interview, if true, is enough. The answer to all of your questions is "yeah, nobody has really stepped up enough to lead the projects you're looking for". But some of the comments in the interview made it seem like there were some teams somewhat far along with some things that could be used for HL3 but Gabe wasn't behind it.
