Gabe Newell Confirms 'Childish' Valve Employees Behind 'Half-Life 3' Prank
Nicole T.Fans have been waiting for the highly anticipated gaming title "Half-Life 3." When a possible hint broke the internet, fans got really excited, only to know that it was just a prank. Valve CEO Gabe Newell came forward to address the issue and confirmed his employees were the ones responsible.
"Half-Life 3" recently came into the spotlight when a photo got leaked from Valve. The photo was taken inside the company's offices and one of the computers showed what seemed to be a logo for "Half-Life 3." Many eagle-eyed fans noticed the logo that was barely noticeable and instantly thought it was made for the game.
However, before everyone got a little too excited, it was confirmed that the logo had nothing to do with "Half-Life 3." In fact, Valve communications specialist Greg Coomer claimed nobody in the company can tell what the logo is for.
"It's news to us that the picture is out, but it's also news that this icon is on the screen," Coomer said according to Venture Beat. "Honestly, those icons have floated around this office for quite a while. None of us are going to be able to tell you what that is or why that's there."
Yet it seems like Valve CEO Gabe Newell knows more about the alleged "Half-Life 3" logo. He said that some of the "more childish" employees of Valve have worn "Half-Life 3" t-shirts to GDC. By that, it seems like the logo is not significant and there's still no news about the game as Christian Post noted.
In addition, Newell stopped short when asked about the "Half-Life 3" references for the Source 2 engine in code. They are also creating three VR games, but he did not mention about any of the projects and what they are about.
