I originally got some time into this game during an unofficial take on this event, but more time in HL:BS, the better! (Also, I'm probably going to leave the game open all night on the non-zero chance I don't wake up in time.)

Considering recent events, I'd consider the best case scenario for this whole situation is Valve simply being "well, shit happens" and things being somewhat stable from here on out, even if caution is needed.
I'm trying to remain optimistic for the future of this engine, but it's getting incredibly hard to remain optimistic in general tbh.
