Half-Life Disappointment

Isn't it disappointing that we will never get Half-Life 2: Episode 3 and Half-Life 3 at all? It gets even more disappointing when you come to the realization that not only was Gordon Freeman not the most important character despite being the player's character, but the most important character, Eli Vance, died at the end of Half-Life 2: Episode 2. With all that said, Steam users would rather hear the disappointing news about Half-Life 3 being cancelled than to be left in the dark over the fate of Half-Life 3. If Half-Life 3's cancellation was confirmed, Steam users will understand, and they can finally go back to their lives. Talk about a huge disappointment.
