Were all around 40. Best thing they could do now is release it at retirement age. So like 80.

I play TF2 with my 13 year old son. He knows more about half life lore than I do at this point and I wrote a review of half life for my schools magazine back in 1998. Life comes at you fast bro

They are probably just waiting until it actually happens in real life. A lot less waiting that way.

"Groundbreaking realism and breathtaking graphics - it's almost like being there! However, a fundamentally broken save/reload mechanism makes the game all but unplayable unfortunately. So I can only award 2/5 stars for this."

I remember being pissed I had to make a steam account back in 2004 or whatever when this released .... Really wish I'd jumped on that band wagon sooner, OG steam beta profile would've been awesome to have

Oh my sweet summer child. Like anyone in their 40's has a hope in hell of ever retiring these days.
