No desire for Half-Life 3: Valve legend explains why the game would be a "nightmare" today

▤ Summary

Former Valve writer Chet Faliszek says he has no interest in working on Half-Life 3 and describes the idea of working on such a sequel as a 'nightmare.' He explains that enormous lore systems and hyper-detailed fan communities intimidate him and make sequels stressful to handle. Faliszek also mentions he was discouraged by similar concerns when discussions with Bungie arose, noting he prefers stories driven by character reactions rather than sprawling background lore. Valve could still announce Half-Life 3, but Faliszek makes clear he very likely would not be involved.
