Because due to the "flat" corporate structure, it's based on having enough people be "passionate" about it to even get it started.

You might have half the staff "passionate" about Half Life 3, but when it comes to their individual ideas that make them passionate about it, they're actually all on wildly different pages about what they want to do and what technology they want to pursue. This means you'll technically have people on board, but because they're driven by different passions, its harder to get everything and everyone to "line up" so work can be started on such a big project.

It can leave gamers hungry for quality games, but I'm fine with all the work Valve is doing for Linux and Proton/Wine. I think those are important and worthy things to be spending time on, and I'm fine with not getting games from Valve in the meantime.

Because really, I've got Larian for that.
