Framework + valve collaborating to release half-life 3 as a platform exclusive, confirmed!

    Could you imagine if they release HL3 as a Linux exclusive? That'd satisfy me to no end. I don't like exclusivity, but it'd be so fun to watch the chaos.

    I used to be annoyed at Github projects that were Linux only but didn't mention it. Now I'm annoyed at Github projects that are Windows only but don't mention it.

    The app that you've always wanted, or at least, close enough so that you can tweak it and maybe submit a PR! Except of course that it's written in .NET and uses WinForms for its UI. Bastards.

    In some ways, I'm a bit envious of Windows for having a standardised UI toolkit, even if it's terrible. Linux has a selection that are each flawed in their own way. I think the last time I enjoyed writing UI code was on the Amiga 1200, and that wasn't yesterday.

    Hmm, you might be on to something with Framework recently releasing a desktop PC. Maybe they decided to cooperate with Valve for a home console. Valve seems to be quite into repairability as well, so that doesn't seem like a totally unlikely match.

    Oh I wasn’t kidding with my speculation on that part. The half-life 3 part is over the top silliness, but framework collab is definitely plausible.

    Well, they did tease half life 3 at the end of Half life alyx, but it would most likely be another VR exclusive. And it's not like that was the first time valve teased half life 3 without following up on it 🫤
