  I just assumed the Half Life 3 bit was just the usual shitpost joke that plenty of people have done before. I at least didn’t put any amount of credence to it at all as being a “leak” or “official announcement”

  No mirror, but I watched it when it was still up. The entire video was narrated by “Dave Johnson” in a halfway decent Cave Johnson impression talking about their company being bought out by investors, showing a scene of these new owners (robots apparently, just people wearing those cheap generic sci-fi helmets you see advertised on social media and a black morph suit) using portals and portal guns at one point.

  The most blatant though was that it even featured extended scenes with pretty bang on animated models of GLaDoS, the turrets, and Atlas, including the GLaDoS model speaking in a vaguely GLaDoS-esque modulated voice that clearly wasn’t Ellen. It was legit well done enough that when the voices didn’t match I started questioning mid watching “Wait this seems unofficial. Are they…allowed to do this?”

  They were, in fact, not allowed to do this.

  Yeah but it’s also not your product and your IP to monitor. That’s quite literally someone’s job there

  I mean how could they not be? It was being shared literally everywhere previously as soon as it was announced. Someone from Valve had to have seen it, especially when they found it immediately upon launch and shut it down almost instantly. It was obviously on their radar

  The weirdest part to me is that this wasn’t a surprise. As soon as valve announced the steam machine it seemed the same day this was announced along with it. They knew it was coming. Why not say something then?

  Valve time planned on releasing in another 2 years regardless, so yes, right on time!

  Released within 6, fixed of game breaking bugs by 10

  Didn’t become the richest in the world by sitting on their laurels and letting other people make money instead of them. That would be outrageous
