HTC chairwoman 'misspoke' in interview

There is no Half-Life VR

Half-life VR is not real. Half-life 3 has not been announced. For many gamers today has effectively eradicated their reason for being.

There was tremendous excitement among Half-life’s criminally underserved fan base yesterday when HTC chairwoman Cher Wang said that the company, which is making Steam’s virtual reality headset, said that the company was “co-operating with [Valve on] Half-life” and that she “hoped” the game would be released for the hardware.

This seems not to be the case, however.

"Regarding my BBC interview with Dave Lee yesterday, I would like to apologise for any confusion caused when I referred to individual games titles," she has now told the organisation. "In response to a question on specific games, I misspoke when I referred to our working together with Valve on a particular game, when instead I meant our collaboration with Valve on developing next-generation virtual reality experiences for gaming.
