Gabe Newell sees Half-Life as a series of things that he will regret until the end of life
Mountain shook, Gabe Newell did his "interview" on Reddit, and set of very diplomatic answers got born that did not resolve the mystery of modern questions - what happens to the Half-Life 3? Founder of Valve among the other things, referred to the future of the franchise, broadening their universe, business plans for Steam, then work philosophy that Valve practices.
Most concrete link with the Half-Life series Gabe did, kind of ironic, gave the answer to the question what is his favorite game of his company. To the surprise of many, Gabe stated that he considers Portal 2 his best SP game, while he plays Dota 2 the most among MP games. Building on the absence of cult Half-Life series Gabe explained his view in these words:
Gabe between the lines explained why for a long time we have not seen a new Left 4 Dead, Portal or even a new IP. Investing in hardware (Steam controller, HTC Vive etc.) he sees as laying the groundwork for expanding the options for making experiences. Or, easier with Gabe`s vocabulary - "The products are usually the result of crossing technologies that we think is popular, group of people who wants to work on them, and that intellectual property that suits best to the challenges of that technology and design."
Among the answers that are not so diplomatic, Gabe has confirmed that there is a chance that from Half-Life / Portal universe degenerate one more new IP, and also that the same series will really have movie adaptations that was earlier mentioned.
