Call me ignorant, but I never thought that it was a question that a game called “Half-Life 3” does exist in some form and, though it may be maddeningly slow going to get released, will one day see the light of day once it is good and ready.
It seems though that the “Half-Life 3 Confirmed” mania on the internet has more to do with the acknowledgment that “Half-Life 3” exists, and not the visual reveal of the game itself. If you are one that subscribes to that form of the craze, then you may be interested by the recent finding of a NeoGaf user who found a listing on a trademark website filed on 9/29/2013 for “Half-Life 3” under the classification or computer game software, and filed by Valve corporation.
The full information regarding the public filing can be seen here.
Now this is still pretty far from a release date or true reveal of the game, and this is most likely just some sort of security measure to cover all legalities of the property, but it’s hard to deny the feeling of joy that comes from hearing that in some form, somewhere, Valve is acknowledging the existence of what is rapidly becoming the most anticipated game of all time.
So go ahead and prematurely pump your fist in the air and say “Half-Life 3” confirmed you increasingly impatient fans of the world. You’ve certainly earned it.
