What are you up to, Valve?

Well, as far as I can understand, we can expect three announcements. One of them, probably the first, will likely be about the rumored Steam console thingy.

Episode 3!

Hah, yeah that'd be rich!

I personally doubt it. I just don't think they're very interested in HL3. I just find it hard to believe that they'd be able to keep a supposed development of such a sought after game so secret, leaks in the industry is hardly hard to come by.

I think they're possibly waiting for technology, each HL has pushed the boundaries of current technology in a massive way, so I suspect that they're waiting for a gap to open up to create something big, and I suspect that rather than it be episode 3, it will be HL3.

Then again, games companies do confuse me with their decisions sometimes, for example, Square-Enix would solve most of their financial problems if, rather than releasing new Final Fantasys which are mediocre at best, they went back and updated the graphics on the ones from seven onwards.

Heck, just releasing seven with better graphics would probably keep S-E in the black for a decade.
