This is an interesting take, especially coming from a non-gaming focused tech website like Ars Technica. I feel like it’s been too long since people were truly hyped about half life 3 though, and this wouldn’t be enough, even if Valve did go through with it.

It’s already too late. HL1 came out 27 years ago, HL2 came out 20 years ago.
Only old people will be hyped. Old people don’t hype well.

Only a few people have VR, and its easy to get into that top 10 when there are maybe 15 good games for VR on the steam store total.
It’s because we are all tired and something usually hurts. The thing that hurts and the reason it hurts changes, but “something hurts” is near constant state of being.
