Stumbled across this article:
http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/03/19/gabe-newell-discusses-possibility-of-half-life-3
Newell:
Though I'm not entirely sure what he is referring to when he speaks about what they "learned" from the Portal 2 release, his words seem to indicate there is little to no momentum toward the development of new games like HL3, and that it would take a huge (and unlikely) internal push for them to actually make it. Bit of a bummer, but after 7.5 years with no word, I don't think it can come as THAT much of a surprise.
Anyway what do you guys think, am I reading into his words too much?

Newell:
The only reason we'd go back and do like a super classic kind of product is if a whole bunch of people just internally at Valve said they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation for why [they did].
But you know if you want to do another Half-Life game and you want to ignore everything we've learned in shipping Portal 2 and in shipping all the updates on the multiplayer side, that seems like a bad choice. So we'll keep moving forward. But that doesn't necessarily always mean what people are worried that it might mean.
