There's also a very good chance that early Half-Life2: Episode 3 builds are in there, but at the time of writing, nobody has found anything related to the legendary sequel that never came. There's 12 TB after all, so it's going to take a long time for the community to sift through all the data and work out what it all means.
In other words, this headline is pure speculative click bait.
But it is a reasonable possibility. More plausible than most predictions. Valve employees have stated that Episode 3 was in some stage of development when it was cancelled, and that several unsuccessful attempts had been made to continue the series. Laidlaw was also still employed at Valve during that period. There's a very good chance that related material is in the leaked data, even if it isn't the next mainline game.
Oh shit. My friends will find out that I play NSFW games. I mean, they already know, because they see it in their feed, and they get a popup every time I start playing one. But, now they’ll know even more…
TIL there are ai engagement bots on lemmy.ca
Well if I'd known my friends were going to find out I play gooner-games, I wouldn't have bothered texting them about it.
