TOTALLY SHOCKING NEWS: Half-Life 3 Doesn't Exist
What's the deal with this news making the rounds today? The news I'm talking about is this bit about some alleged Valve insider telling Game Informer that Half-Life 3 doesn't exist.

by Shawn ZipayGet that Premium Edition and play three days early!
Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.
Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...I don't mind. If people want to spend more to play early, let them!33.33%1I'm indifferent to the whole idea.33.33%1I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.33.33%1Other (describe below)0%0-
