When Newell stepped up to speak, he touched on a few different things, one of which was the milestones that the company has achieved over the years. Of course, there have been many. However, he also took this opportunity to shed light on one thing that has escaped their grasps all these years - the number 3. You can hear the following for yourself in the video above at about the 4:20 minute mark.
"Milestones aren’t really the end of anything," he said. "They’re really the beginning. So Half-Life led to Half-Life 2, Source led to Source 2, the experiments that we did with Team Fortress 2 were what enabled us to build Dota. Artifact is the reason we’re able to do Underlords. So, maybe someday the number 2 will lead us to that shiny integer glowing on a mountain someplace. We’ll just have to see."
It got some laughs out of the crowd that was present, and probably many more people that have since watched the video. Now that Valve appears to be diving back into the business of developing games, one can only hope that they intend on revisiting some of their previous series. Not all hope is lost at this point, but it is not looking great. Then again, has it ever?
