It's almost 19 years since the much-loved game Half Life was launched, November 19, 1998, and now the game has been updated by Valve.
Unusual updates of old games
It is quite unusual that such old games be updated by the developer, who usually sets a certain amount of time that they want to support the game before moving on to new projects.
Following [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/70/announcements/detail/1439314053820431619]this entry on Steam[/url], the following are updated:
Fixed crash when entering certain malformed strings into the game console. Thanks to Marshal Webb from BackConnect, Inc. for reporting this.
Fixed crash when loading a specially crafted malformed BSP file. Thanks to Grant Hernandez (@Digital_Cold) for reporting this.
Fixed malformed SAV files allowing arbitrary files to be written into the game folder. Thanks to Vsevolod Saj for reporting this.
Fixed a crash when quickly changing weapons that are consumable. Thanks to Sam Vanheer for reporting this.
Fixed crash when setting custom decals
Unless otherwise, this suggests that many still play the aging game, and there are many who report mistakes they may discover.
One of the best games ever
Half-Life is often considered the best game ever, according to Wikipedia, and has influenced first person shooters for years after launch.
The game sold 9.3 million copies until December 2008, and until this year it also had a Guinness world record for the best-selling first person shooter in history.
It got the sequel Half-Life 2 in 2004, followed by episodes 1 and 2, all of which were immensely well received.
New game in the Half-Life universe?
Many have been waiting for a third edition of the game for years, but this will not happen, following an employee in Valve.
However, in January this year, Valve boss Gabe Newell held a Reddit-AMA (Ask Me Anything) where he answered confirming whether there will be new games in the Half-Life / Portal universe.
