The rumors that Grand Theft Auto 6 and Half-Life 3 were going to be at The Game Awards were obviously bogus (for reasons I'll elaborate on below), but I admit that the serious 'I heard this from industry sources' tone of the social media posts briefly had me doubting my certainty.
Of course, neither game was at the event. As far as we know, Half-Life 3 doesn't exist, and even if it did, Valve is far more likely to announce it by putting up a blog post on a Friday afternoon. Rockstar is even more allergic to mainstream hype-building outlets like The Game Awards, so the thought of it bringing a trailer to Geoff Keighley's show is just comical.
