Reporting on the existence of Half-Life 3 (or lack thereof) is pretty much a joke at this point. After all, it?s been the bane of many a gamers? existence for over a decade now. Nonetheless, head of Valve, Gabe Newell, dropped a little hint towards the long-awaited sequel at a recent Valve Index party. Index is the company?s latest VR headset.
During a talk at the party, Newell stated:

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};
admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], []).addSize([750, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([980, 0], [[300, 250]]).build(); PB.gptStandAlone['ros_300x250_p_slot4_1561816970'] = googletag.defineSlot('/4403/cr/playstationlifestyle/ros', [[300, 250]], 'ros_300x250_p_slot4_1561816970') .defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting('pos', 'P').setTargeting('content_detail', '0').setTargeting('kw', 'in-article').setTargeting('coppa', '0').setTargeting('site', 'playstationlifestyle');
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display('ros_300x250_p_slot4_1561816970');

if (admiralCookie === null || admiralCookie['val'] === 'false') {
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone['ros_300x250_p_slot4_1561816970']]);
}
