A new leak claims that a Half-Life 3 announcement might have been delayed due to the Steam Machine price. According to the insider, Valve is still trying to determine the console’s cost due to skyrocketing hardware component prices, such as RAM.

This is just straight cope. HL3 isn't coming out anytime soon.

I'm confused, was there any expectation it would that I missed? As far as I know half life is dead. They never even finished episode 3 of half life 2 from like two decades ago.

Half-Life Alyx proves it's not totally dead. It even retconned an important plot point, which would make sense to do if they're planning to continue the story in some way.

There are persistent rumors that Valve is planning to release it alongside the Steam Machine.

There has been a lot of data mining in the past few months that indicates they are working on something that has yet to be released, which is very likely a Half Life game. I've been watching the HLX Files series by Tyler McVicker for a while as he sticks to just facts without much hype.
