Valve acquires Turtle Rock Studios specifically to take over the development and release of Left 4 Dead. Spokesman Doug Lombardi also confirms that Portal 2 is already in the works, and that Half-Life 2: Episode Three will take longer than the previous two episodes to develop because it will be a much longer, much more epic game than any installment prior, and that in no uncertain terms it will be the conclusion to the Half-Life series as we know it, “tying up all of the loose ends.” Many fans are quick to try to read between the lines and go into a deep denial about their beloved series eventually coming to a close sooner rather than later.
