   @JeremiahFieldhaven @djlink it probably made sense as a decision 10 years ago but if it was happening today I don’t think it would. You simply don’t need new tech to get people interested in a game anymore

     @djlink On the one hand, if all you're playing the game for is visuals, gameplay tricks, and shooting people... sure.

     If you're playing it for - or even passably interested in - the story?

     I don't envy them, and I suppose I can respect that "it needs to improve on what's gone before or it's not worth doing", but at the same time I'm not sure I agree with that, or their decision.

     Incremental improvements and a completed story, versus nothing?

     But now it's far too late anyway...

     Gabe Newell talking about the decision to cancel Episode 3, he thought only moving the story forward and no other gameplay/tech advancements would not be good for the players. Respect
