He has said that he’ll release HL3 when technology is ready for it.

I wonder if this is what he had in mind.

Nintendo leading the way is a bit far fetched. Besides the 80 dollar price tag you only existing on a handful of games, it’s not a new setpoint.

Companies have been “hiding” that price point for years by stripping games of features and including them in the “deluxe” or “ultimate” version.

It was fully expected that one of the big three would finally cement it, at least they’re saying “here’s the full package and this is what you pay for it”.
