Valve has very little reason to make a single player game. Why make hl3 while someone else can make a similar selling game and you taking 30% of it? A game like artifact is more appealing to them because it has a potential to become next hearthstone, which is much more profitable than a single player game that only sells once

Also hype around hl3 is too much, it will be below expectations no matter how much hard Valve tries.
