I don't really know what to make of this except that I'm rather uneasy.

It's kind of difficult to see how to read that, really difficult.

Why remove your name when you left your twitter tag?

It's not gonna be Steam Box exclusive, but most probably Steam OS timed exclusive.
Things get trademarked all the time and nothing more comes of it. Is there any more conclusive proof that Half-Life 3 is in the works?
The timing for this is very fishy. Chances of it being SteamOS exclusive?
Oh well... it's a free OS anyway.

Where is this a thing? You can't do this in the USA, hence some firms like Apple and Bungie creating shell companies for applications. And I dunno doesn't that sort of go against the idea of the trademark process?Funny fact - afaik you can add a confidentiality request to your trademark application.

Why Valve has to register the trademark "Half-Life 3"? I mean Half-Life is already a registered trademark. There is no other studio that could release a game with "Half Life" in the name.
I asked that myself too earlier. But I guess If you intend to use the whole name "Half-Life 3" you have to register that trademark ... at least that's what I got from the discussion in that thread and over at reddit.
But didn't someone say Half-Life 2 never got registered?
It wouldn't fly; Valve's never let go of the Half-Life trademark. In fact, if you search the same registry for Half-Life you'll notice that there's no listing for Half-Life 2.

I wonder what type of game it will be when it does come out.. I mean FPS' have changed considerably since HL2.
Cover shooting in HL3... I think I'll hand in my 'PC Master Race Card' if that happens..

Very good question. What would you like to see? I for one am of course hopeful that they can reinvent the genre somehow, but it's not realistic to think that they will reinvent all aspects of the genre of course. So the question becomes, will we want something very similar to HL2 with some added elements or do we want something similar to the best shooters of today (and which are they?), with added inventions and Half-Life-ish elements?
For example, I really, really, really don't want a Bioshock Infinite with a Half-Life twist. Dare I say it; I would rather have a game similar to CoD SP than Bioshock Infinite. The shooting and movement of that game is just so offputting and boring to me.
If they can achieve something akin to F.E.A.R. then I'll be happy. No need for covers and ironsights. Not that I don't like HL combat, I recently played the mod called Minerva and thought it held up more than well.
Interestingly enough I enjoyed Infinite's combat a lot more than other modern shooters I played. Then again I haven't exactly been overdoing it with modern shooters. But in Infinite the combat was fast-paced, had lots of mobility, it included verticality and hip fire wasn't gimped in favor of ironsights.

No, HL3 is the official name for Steam OS. It's not a game at all.HL3 bundled with SteamOS download, right?
