As everyone is on Half-Life 3 watch, a single Geoff Keighley Steam wishlist entry has truthers going into overdrive.
Half-Life 3 copium has been at an all-time high recently following the Steam Machine announcement, with every 'insider' and their mother coming out of the woodwork to be like, "big things coming ;) look at me I know things you don't" in the vaguest way possible. And while I won't believe Half-Life 3 – or Valve making a new video game that isn't a MOBA – exists until I see it with my own eyes, everyone seems convinced that this week will mark the historic day that Half-Life 3 is revealed, and me and everyone else in the retirement home (or as they're known, Half-Life fans) will finally see the day.
While Game Awards host Geoff Keighley was promoting The Game Awards 2025's nominees getting their own section on Steam this week, Twitter legend Wario64 noticed that Keighley only has one game wishlisted and asked about it. And after Keighley replied with a shifty eyes emoji, fans' minds went to Half-Life 3 somehow having a wishlistable page that Keighley has access to. The replies are full of Half-Life-hopium images, while one writes: "DONT PLAY WITH MY HEART LIKE THIS GEOFF."
Keighley then responded again 18 hours later, showing that the one game he has on his wishlist is none other than Dadlympics – a physics-based brawler game about dads. However, in a Phoenix Wright-esque moment, everyone then noticed that Keighley added Dadlympics to his wishlist on November 18, 2025, while the original Tweet was on November 17.
This new wrinkle has once again sent the Half-Life fans into a frenzy. "WHAT IS HE HIDING FROM US!" one questions. "Bro I can't breathe man like surely not man I'm almost shaking," says another.
Why would Keighley try to hide what he wishlisted? Was it Half-Life 3? Could it finally be happening? Or maybe it was just one of Steam's endless deluge of weird games like Genital Jousting, and he didn't want people knowing he wishlisted it, and this Half-Life thing is a coincidence? The world may never know.
