So one FORMER employee leaks basically a fanfiction, and everyone goes nuts saying Hl3 is confirmed to be cancelled?

It's no more confirmed to be cancelled than it has been before, Marc Laidlaw doesn't work at valve anymore and we've known for a while that he didn't work that much on a third half-life game.

I feel like this is a huge overreaction, the story is fun and all but it honestly means nothing for or against the release of a new game.
