Fuck Breen. I want to know more about the g-man and how he fits into this entire picture. But we'll prolly not find that out until like, Half-Life 3 Episode 5 or something.
As for why Valve is pulling stuff like this. There is a recession going on and every game company out there is suffering, including the big ones like EA and Ubisoft. Valve has a history of being original and daring in their strategies to survive though. That's how they got where they were in the first place. It could very well be that instead of tuning production down they went "hey, let's just bring out loads of games one after another to keep the money coming in".
Afterall they are working on Portal 2, Episode 3, TF2 content, new L4D maps, a new L4D2 map was just released and more than likely they have a (small) team already working on the next Source engine for Half-Life 3. They are doing anything but sitting still atm.
