[AMA Request] Gabe Newell, president of Valve Corporation

As many of you may know, the story of half-life 3 was released today by Marc Laidlaw, ex-valve writer, pretty much confirming that the game will probably never be released.Now that we know that half-life 3 isn't coming, I think we deserve some honest answers.My 5 Questions:At what point did you decide to stop working on the game?Why did you decide not to release half-life 3?What were the leaks that happened over the years (i.e. hl3.txt...)? Were they actually parts of some form of half-life 3?How are people at valve reacting to the decision not to make half-life 3?How do you think this decision will affect the way people look at the company in the future? How will it affect the release of your other new games?Public Contact Information: gaben@valvesoftware.com via /r/IAmA http://ift.tt/2vleq2l
