I cannot grasp why people try to "fix" HDTF. Berkan shat out a giant turd that unjustly elevated him to position in Blizzard and in response people try to polish this turd.

"Why" is an interesting question when it comes down to us humans. For this specific situation, I can imagine its a mixture of factors

1- Sunk cost fallacy, so much time, effort and money was invested in this so they feel its how they will make it all feel less like it was all for nothing.
2- Challenge, like it or not, there are some people that claim that they could have done it "right" and "fix it", so they do just that so they can get credit for making HDTF reach its "true" potential.
3- Its easier to fix a pre existing game than to make one from scratch. HDTF has a lot of production values (for the standards of HL mods) and thus a lot of people prefer to invest in that rather than to start from zero.
4- Fame (?), its possible that a factor is also the attention and merit it would bring to be the ones to fix this game as best as it can be under the circunstances

I dont think that bar a major re-write (which would force the cutscenes to be removed/edit/altered), that you can "fix" HDTF where it matters. Because to quote Spoony (before he became what he is today)

"Those were technical issues and technical issues can be fixed but the problem with this was the story!"

If the story is wack, especially in a plot driven experience like HDTF, you are kind of already up shit creek without a paddle.
Overanalyzing this stuff is a guilty pleasure of mine, I love this shit.
this thread is MADE for autistic loresperging and by god we should do that as much as we damn well please!

Lets go for it, it will still be the least autistic thing in this site.

Apparently people on r/HalfLife are tracking the yacht Gabe Newell lives on (1, 2), and it's actually relatively close to where SGF is being held, in California (and apparently his boat usually resides in New Zealand, so he's actually traveled to California for some reason). Also people keep mentioning how Valve potentially owe Keighely a showing for how they pulled out of showing HL:A at TGA 2019. I don't want to huff copium, but...

Though apparently it's been there for weeks already so who fucking knows. There's a whole bunch of reasons why a billionare might be in California.

Its not worth it to touch this shit and risk your soul Reddit
waiting for half life 3 to come out hasn't panned out so they have to try all the available options and that unfortunately involves sacrificing children to moloch
what else are they going to do? wait another decade?
