Half-Life 2: Episode 2 just got a 6 GB update

Hey everyone, this is Dusk Golem aka AestheticGamer. I have posted on NeoGAF since 2011, and have decided to resign. I have enjoyed posting about horror games here for years, but I no longer wish to support the site and will be leaving for good. I will still be around the internet, I go by AestheticGamer on YouTube, I make games on Steam as Yai Gameworks, and I plan to go by Dusk Golem on other forums. I'll be joining an off-set of the GAF community leaving to try other ventures like ResetEra (Official Twitter for that here: https://twitter.com/reseteraforum ). I hope some of you who read this may consider it, and I plan to try to expose more people to horror games in the years to come. Just not here.

I hope you all are having a good day, and know I always loved the community, and in the end it's the community I'm going to stick with, not the site itself. If you want to follow me, my official Twitter is here: https://twitter.com/AestheticGamer1

They're probably changing the ending so it doesn't end on a cliffhanger. Then they won't need to make a sequel.

Yeah, 6GB wouldn't be a linux update or oculus rift update. That's hugely unlikely. 6GB is more like as if every asset in the game needed to be replaced, or a *gasp* whole new section to the game added.

I don't think you need to download a 6GB update for Steampipe, it just converts the file on the system.

Episode 2 is 6 years old and came on a 360 DVD along with 4 other titles. 6GB is probably just the entire game re-downloading itself.

I'm not getting an update. Also I don't know why they would bother updating their single player games to use SteamPipe, it's not as they have frequent large updates.

In all honesty, imagine if it was stealth HL3. No previews, no announcements, just here. Play it. Shut the fuck up and let us waste our time (but make a ton of cash) on DoTA2 in peace.

no update here either. I've already done the conversion on TF2, which uses the same base engine though, so that could be why.
