Yeah, the way Valve's development process works, the devs pick which games they want to work on, and form their own development teams within the company. If none of the devs is passionate enough about a title to start a team, it doesn't get made. Newell has said in interviews that he doesn't think anyone is passionate about Half Life anymore, so it'll likely never get made.
I understand what you are saying, but writing off Valve because they won't release a third (expected) part of a game seems like an overreaction. Do what you like though :/
It makes sense that if no one cared enough to put in the effort for episode 3 that it probably wouldn't be very good as it would be basically forced out. Still dropping it after the end of episode two is a hell of a way to end the series. Imagine if George Lucas hadn't bothered to make Return of the Jedi. Inb4 "no Ewoks? lol good"

quit wasting resources on other games, Valve assholes
Wasn't there some explanation that if the actual developers aren't interested, then it doesn't happen?
so Mr. Freeman just DIAF?
awesome
it's okay. EA, Bioware, Blizzard will have my money for the next year or so
