Valve can’t count to 3 though.

Capcom had years of jokes on exactly that point with the Street Fighter series, but they eventually did release Street Fighter III.

EDIT: For those not familiar, here's the relevant portion of the series timeline:

  • Street Fighter

  • Street Fighter II: The World Warrior

  • Street Fighter II: Championship Edition

  • Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting

  • Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers

  • Super Street Fighter II Turbo

  • Street Fighter Alpha

  • Street Fighter: The Movie (the video game)

  • Street Fighter Alpha 2

  • X-Men vs. Street Fighter

  • Street Fighter EX

  • Street Fighter III: New Generation

To be fair to Capcom, they did release Ace Attorney 3 quickly and it was the peak of the franchise.
