From r/Halflife, its the Todd Howard holding TES VI hostage story but changed to Gabe Newell holding Half Life 3 hostage unless players buy more CS2 lootboxes.
Flying from DC to LA and Gabe was flying the same flight. I got to sit near him and told him I was a huge fan of his, especially of Half-Life. That's when he did something I would have never believed.
He pulled out his laptop and showed me the official trailer for Half-Life 3. He then asked me how many CS2 crate keys I have purchased, and I told him "Only 20, Gabe. Only 20.". That's when he did it. Gabe Newell deleted the trailer for HL3 and emptied the trash. "This was the only copy, the one I was to present at the Game Awards", he said. "Next time, do better."
He then informed me that if the new TF2 Smissmass crate doesn't sell a million keys within 48 hours they will be deleting assets to HL3, further delaying the project purposefully. They are taking it hostage and demanding a ransom.Todd Howard was on my flight to LA
By u/xCosmicChaosx, its a shitpost story on how Todd Howard is holding TES VI hostage unless players buy more versions of Skyrim released by Bethesda.
Flying from DC to LA and Todd was flying the same flight. I got to sit near him and told him I was a huge fan of his, especially of TES. That's when he did something I would have never believed.
He pulled out his laptop and showed me the official trailer for TES: VI. He then asked me how many copies of Skyrim I have purchased, and I told him "Only 3, Todd. Only 3.". That's when he did it. Todd Howard deleted the trailer for TES VI and emptied the trash. "This was the only copy, the one I was to present at the Game Awards", he said. "Next time, do better."
He then informed me that if the new Switch 2 port of Skyrim doesn't sell a million copies within 48 hours they will be deleting assets to TES VI, further delaying the project purposefully. They are taking it hostage and demanding a ransom.
