    Would you mind sharing a truly official link about the cancellation please? I've still found almost nothing. According to wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_%28series%29 [wikipedia.org]. This article [denofgeek.com] seems to have the most information about what's been said by Valve over the years.

    There's a Mirror article around the start of this year claiming what you said but elsewhere that's dismissed as rumor and a lot of people would take anything written there with a pinch of salt.

    HL3 is not going to make them any money anymore. They have settled on CS:GO as their perpetual money making machine, got everyone on PC hooked on Steam, and now focusing on SteamOS and VR. They are not a content delivery company.
