The klaxons sounded earlier today when HTC China president Alvin Wang Graylin shared a few slides from his recent talk on the future of VR, including one that said, "Valve HL Alyx/LFD3 will drive consumer and AAA studio interest." The acronym isn't quite right, but the reference to Left 4 Dead 3 was obvious. I've reached out to Valve to find out more about the event, so keep an eye out for updates. It could also be that Valve's going to release a third bundle, which will eventually contain Half-Life: Alyx. It could simply be a mistake, so the notification could just be referring to Half-Life Complete. It looks like the notification was sent out too early, but that doesn't explain why the bundle has a different name. And despite the notification, which links to an error page, Valve hasn't made any announcements. While there are no bundles known as the Half-Life Collection, there's The Orange Box and the Half-Life Complete bundles, but neither of them are free. The notification claimed that the Half-Life Collection would be free until the launch of the VR spin-off, except there is no such thing as the Half-Life Collection, and right now all the Half-Life games have prices. Some Steam users received a notification yesterday that advertised a Half-Life: Alyx event before vanishing. The Half-Life Collection includes Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, and Half-Life 2: Episode Two, as well as the spin-off games Opposing Force and Blue Shift, and the multiplayer Team Fortress Classic. The Half-Life: Alyx team believes that the best way to enjoy the new game is to play through the old ones, especially Half-Life 2 and the episodes, so we want to make that as easy as possible." "Half-Life: Alyx is set before the events of Half-Life 2 and the episodes, but the games share characters and story elements. "Half-Life: Alyx is coming in March, and we are celebrating early by making all games in the Half-Life Collection FREE to play for Steam users, from now until the day it launches," Valve said in announcement.

Update: And now it's official: The full Half-Life Collection is, for awhile at least, free to play.
