    Devil's advocate--

    All this means is that they secured a trademark for it. Until I actually see official word from Valve or Gaben that HL3 is a Thing That Exists, I will remain a skeptic.

      They now have less than three years to produce something to confirm the trademark, or they lose it. (technically, six months, but extensions can be used to bring it up to 3 years)

      Valve won't lose it. We'll be hearing about HL3 within that time period.

        And at that time, I'll start throwing confetti.

        Until then, Skeptical Jay is skeptical.

          Been hearing rumors about HL3 for YEARS now.

          I will believe when I am able to buy it.

            Oh God I'm never going to hear the end of this am I?

            Sorry, apart from the fact that this sort of thing has been going on for years now, I just don't care for or even like the HL series. It has to be the worst example I've seen of Ludonarrative Dissonance and it's to the point where it distracts from the "rich, compelling story" that it's praised for yet barely passes muster for generic sci-fi in any other medium.

                Skeptical Jay will remain skeptical until I see HL3 available for purchase. (Not pre-order. Actual physical boxes on gaming retail shelves.)

                  I wonder though, if Trademark laws comply with Valve Time, it's going to be a long time till anything is released.

                    Do you know how many times there's been "confirmed rumors" that HL3 is being worked on only to be later debunked?

                    No seriously, do you know? I've lost track.

                      And here we go again...

                      I'd extend sympathy, but those of you clinging onto the hope for this long with no sense of cynicism really are deluding yourselves.

                        This is why I don't get excited about any game with a "3" in the title from Valve until and unless I see the game available for purchase at the store.

                          Why does this remind me of "Duke Nukem Forever?"

                            Wasn't that the game named after how long it took to release?

                              ...I do want to point out though, that those were European. The USA filing for HL3 was still there, last I saw.
