Steam Deck: Alyx

Valve can’t count to 3 though.

Capcom had years of jokes on exactly that point with the Street Fighter series, but they eventually did release Street Fighter III.

EDIT: For those not familiar, here's the relevant portion of the series timeline:

• Street Fighter

• Street Fighter II: The World Warrior

• Street Fighter II: Championship Edition

• Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting

• Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers

• Super Street Fighter II Turbo

• Street Fighter Alpha

• Street Fighter: The Movie (the video game)

• Street Fighter Alpha 2

• X-Men vs. Street Fighter

• Street Fighter EX

• Street Fighter III: New Generation

It would be free marketing if they went with that approach. I can already see the headlines: “Why the ‘Steam Deck 3’ is called the ‘Steam Deck: Episode 1’ and other 5 things with origins on the memeverse”

Yep. I consider HL:Alex to be HL:3. It's that good.

But I still want another HL game.
