More than 10,000 fans of Valve Software's game franchise Half Life, staged a protest because of the lack of information that has been communicated about Half Life 3 or Half Life 2: Episode 3. The fans all logged onto steam this Saturday, and played Half Life 2 simultaneously to try and gain the company's attention.
The Protest, named A Red Letter Day, referencing a line of dialogue Half Life 2 was arranged via a Steam group named "A Call for Communication" (which has over 50,000 members), although few of the groups members actually took part in the event.
Although Valve's workforce is most likely busy due to the development of DOTA 2, Counter Strike: Global Offensive and improvements to their free to play shooter Team Fortress 2, it is understandable that Valve's fanbase want some information. After all Half Life 2: Episode 2 was released in the Orange Box half a decade ago. Will it make any difference to Valve's taboo? Only time can tell.

After ten thousand years of development, hopefully it will have been worth the wait.
