Half-Life 3 Kickstarter Launched. Cancelled.

Greg Micek writes: "Wednesdays are usually the day of the week that we see biggest Kickstarter campaigns launched. People are well into their work week, bored with the grind, and ready to donate some money; or so the theory goes. This week is no different; it’s already seen the launch of a Half Life 3 Kickstarter campaign. Did you miss it? That’s because it’s already been cancelled."

Half Life 3 confirmed!!!

Oh wait........

[SteamPowered]

How the hell would they get a kickstarter for a game that already has an owner for the rights? Think Valve would sit out while someone else drafted HL3? Probably not...

[Testfire]

I would think this was meant to be more of a statement to Valve than anything.

[SteamPowered]

Sounds more like playing with fire.

[Avernus]

Why would Valve need a kickstarter program? -___-

[ATi_Elite]

Steam Sales are Valve's Kickstarter program lol

Valve has enough cash to start manufacturing Spaceships!

[SpiralTear]

"...as valve seem set on not re-creating a half life 3 then we are looking to steal the market for this ourselves."

This would've been more hilarious if this guy wasn't actually asking for money to fund this fake thing. Ah well. Cancelled.

[gazgriff2k12]

we should forget about half life and boycott it if it ever is released for valve's handling of the game so arrogant

[Pandamobile]

Please explain to us all how you came to believe that Valve's handling of HL3 is "arrogant".

[Pintheshadows]

Entitled much?

[gazgriff2k12]

Half-life (t½) is the amount of time required for a quantity to fall to half its value as measured at the beginning of the time

[Goro]

These 6 random guys can't just make and publish Half Life 3...That would be like Naughty Dog just making Grand Theft Auto 6 out of nowhere without Rockstar's permission.

[nate254]

Well, except Naughty Dog is actually a really good games developer...?

[Section8uk]

At least if Naughty Dog did it we might have heists at launch and the mp might not be just an excuse to force players into an unfeasibly long Free2Play (i.e Pay2Win) style grind fest

[Goro]

That's irrelevant. It doesn't matter if they're a good game developer or not, they still don't have the rights to make a GTA game because Rockstar own the license.

[dafegamer]

holy shit @ your disagrees :/

This poster is right guys, those guys cant just star a kickstarter campaign without Valve's permission, since they dont own the rights to HL.
ND, no matter how godly they are, cant start a campaign on GTA as well, since its not their IP.
You guys must learn how Intellectual Property works

[Agheil]

It's not, not knowing how iPs work, it's more about comparing random guys trying to develop a valve game to Naughty Dog trying to develop a rock star game. So he basically compared naughty dog directly with a random group of people.

[dafegamer]

@arabiensoldier
nope. he is just saying that ND cant make game based on GTA on kickstarter. He is not comparing random guys with ND

[Milesprowers]

Half-Life 3 will be revealed on November 16th 2014

[irokster]

Seriously guys, get over it. If the game is or isn't coming out, that's not what the world revolves around. Just move on and play some other great experiences and quit drowning yourselves in useless tears over a video game.

[Klonoa-dreamtraveler]

Funny this came up I saw this last night.

[sikadelic_mu53]

Wow, that took nerve as if Valve wouldn't notice.
