At least we did get another half life game (Alyx), I greatly enjoyed the first 4 core games (1, 2, ep1, ep2) and felt that Alyx fit nicely into the bunch though it was interesting that they ended it in such a way that it opens up more options for any future games.

As an aside while I know the market is definitely smaller for VR releases, if the next half life was a VR release again I would love that, i found the experience for Alyx to be stellar
