Interesting. It would honestly make sense for Valve to release HL3 (lite?) as a VR game soon, given they now have the Index out there and can both advertise it on the store page and even offer a bundle, they can sell more copies of the game now due to VR having a larger userbase than even a year ago (especially with the Rift S being, relatively speaking, affordable), grow the market with the game everyone has been frothing over forever (even if its shit, people will still pre-order/upgrade, so they will then have VR), and so forth.

My best friend got me into PC gaming had an obsession with HL. Then Steam got me onto it with HL2. Portal launched their brands into the normiespace. Now they need to sell a new periphral/push a new technology it's the right time.

I doubt it will be a FULL version of Half-Life 3 though. More likely an Episode length story set in the aftermath that tells us what happened from a historical perspective or 3rd party observing of the crazy shit we don't get to take part in.
