I think it refers to Valve Software never releasing the third game in their series, like Half-Life 3 and Team Fortress 3.
That's usually how "can't count to three" jokes work, but this is clearly an announcement about someone successfully releasing a #3 of something. I don't get it.
It makes internal sense because they named the blog-post without using 3.
But it doesn't make sense to me either, because they are releasing the 3rd of something, and i have no context re: why they wouldn't count to 3, unlike with valve.
