Half-Life 3 Protest Breaks Out At Valve

Civil unrest has gripped the streets of Bellevue, Washington outside of Valve's headquarters…and by "civil unrest" we mean two dudes with cardboard signs and lawnchairs.

These identified men set up camp outside of Valve's offices with cardboard signs reading "Canada 4 The Release Of Half Life 3" and "Half-Life 3…Is It Left 4 Dead?" While it wasn't the most crazy protest we've seen, what it lacked in anger it made up for in lunch. It turns out that Valve head Gabe Newell actually came out to meet the gentlemen and even brought them food.

Let's hope Gabe took note of their signs, as this is one cause we definitely support.

Ok im very anti protest but this is absolutely one i can truly get behind

Maybe two protestors outside of Valve's studios will be what pushes them over the edge and into development. Not the millions of fans who ask for it each and every passing day.

I think I will do this outside Bioware's studio for a novemnber release of ME3

I'm pretty sure they're already working on it. I hope they take their time to make it the best.

Wait so if they release a game too early they will get protests but if they wait to release a game they still get protests (even if it is just 2 guys in lawn chairs.) people need to make up their mind
by Jekeled Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 07:54 PM

I may have to take a day trip up there to cheer them on!
