# Half Life's future will remain a blank page

Do you know what kind of playerbase wants to wait their whole lives until the story they crave finally develops? Obviously none. But clearly Valve never cared about their Half-Life fans. The franchise is but a toy to them.

Sure, they put in real effort when they do decide to make a new game, and we're thankful for that, but they create it for the crappiest motivations as far as us, the players, are concerned. We are no more than "those who will buy it when Valve builds it", like Sony used to think as well.

They *will not* make Half-Life (Episode) 3 until they feel like there's something they want to test. Hell, that's the only reason they made Half-Life: Alyx -  Valve onlywanted to understand how to make great Virtual Reality titles commercially viable.

It's so obvious that's the only reason, most of us long-term fans are completely blocked from trying it since it's VR-only. But if they decided to take VIRTUAL REALITY into a prequel, what would ever be enough to justify a sequel? Nothing, that's what!

Honestly, I do think there is one more technology that could make Valve create more of the HF universe: a VRMMO. But even then, that's not going to be a sequel. Like in any MMO, the lore would fall apart over time.

The truth is, we will never know how it would all end. And Valve is to blame because they don't *want* to give us the rest of the story. Our desperate wish is not important to them.
