Valve patched Half-Life out of nowhere. The first one.

Gabe Newell’s team’s mentality is not something we can understand – the original Half-Life launched in 1998, and it’s not exaggerating to say that it was a revolutionary, 10/10 title in its time. Of course, it’s not perfect, and seeing it getting a patch is not a surprising unless you forgot when it came out. Quoting the patch notes:„

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 datamining occurs for the game, we can’t say if it’s a silent way of Valve preparing something big (Half-Life 3? …or 2 Episode 3?), so we rather say silent and put a dot to the end of this paragraph.

Couldn’t Valve make this patch earlier than 2017?
