Gamespot also provides the answers that all followers may be asking theirselves as well.
As stated in Tech Radar, there are a number of reasons as to why the game may or may not exist. Statistically speaking, the game is moving towards the side wherein making it is not an option at the moment. However, his does not stop the fans from keeping their fingers crossed or in this case, "crossbow"-ed, if to relate to the game.
It is also a valid claim that desperately craving fans of the game have taken their steps further to pushing Valve into creating the game.
