Marc Laidlaw has left Valve
- Thread starter Fret
- Start date
LIES! That's what they want us to believe.
Pure speculation from this guy as well. Probably closer to the truth though hahaha

Posted by an account created 'a few minutes ago' named 'noHL3today'
So not only are we getting fake HL3 info and fake Valve takedowns but also faked reports of faked accounts posting faked HL3 info
This is too funny
This is Frog Fractions 2 isn't it?

Just to be clear - I don't even know what's been happening, this is at the top of the subreddit and seems a lot more plausible than Valve trying to stop a leak that quickly
I should have hosted the golden globes

- Marc Laidlaw retires
- Sparks Half-Life 3 discussion
- BS post is made on Reddit that talks about HL3's development, areas and features that are supposedly in the game
- BS post is deleted
- Gullible people believe the post simply because of it's deletion and itshappening.jpg
- Still no solid, concrete info on HL3
- Time to move on again
There ya go.

BS.
You really think that Valve cares that a randomn post will cause people people to have "unrealistic expectations" for HL3? A game that we haven't heard a word of in over a decade!?
Regardless of that post if HL3 doesn't fundamentally change the entire gaming landscape and rewrite everything we know about FPS' on top of being the greatest game of the decade, people will be disappointed.

I'm not sure if the Reddit mods can be 100% trustful in this one.
BTW, I doubt Valve cares about these rumors, after all they didn't bother with the open world, open structure rumor.

Valve could straight out announce there will never be another Half Life game and people would still find a way to inject clues about a new Half Life into the press release. When you look for clues everywhere, everything will be a clue.
Lol this is getting out of control. It's probably one person on all of these accounts.
This is kind of weird, like, that makes it almost sound like he died or something

Yeah, if someone didn't know he left they could think he passed away.
Wonder how long that's been there.
During the development of the original Half-Life, so like 1997 or 1998... So a while.
That exact quote for Laidlaw, I meant..

It's very recent. Probably yesterday. People look at the "people" sections frequently. That's how they found Robin Walker's section being Bob Ross with Walker's face shopped on it.
It was changed recently since the webarchive for November last year shows:
Marc Laidlaw
Marc Laidlaw joined Valve in 1997, bringing his experience as an author of weird fiction to bear on creating the Half-Life storyline. He was sole writer on Half-Life and Half-Life 2, and lead writer for the Half-Life episodes. Even as Valves writing team expanded, with the arrival of Erik Wolpaw, Chet Faliszek, Jay Pinkerton, and Ted Kosmatka, Marc remains the lead writer of emails. His novels include Dad's Nuke, Neon Lotus, The Orchid Eater, Kalifornia, and the award-winning The 37th Mandala. Visit Mark's web site.
