Why bundle HL3 as launch title? Feels a bit too much to develop the most memed game ever + trying to figure out the logistics of 3 new hardware products at the same time. People won’t exactly rush to buy Steam Machine for HL3 if they already have a decent PC.
Because it’s not actually “half life three”. It’s (half life)^3. One of the hardware constraints is that has to be played on something cubic.
Having a plan and external pressures wrecking the whole thing has some strong Aliens^3 vibes, so that checks out.
Maybe they just realised in time about the upcoming RAM price hike and setup both to each other, so that either one becomes an excuse for the other.
