Can someone correct me if I am wrong but this is not a 1:1 remake -- this is all new level designs and puzzles, right? Did they get Valve's blessing to charge money for it?

Yep, a long while ago.

Valve has been pretty chill about letting people make fan games based on their IP as long as they ask Papa Gaben first.

I played it first when it was a free mod and then bought on steam and put on my backlog list because I really enjoyed what I saw back then.

Now, wouldn't be amazing if someone develop, you know, HL3 or at least episode 3? The game script wasn't published some time ago because of copyright expiration? I would pay for it, and I am sure I am not the only one.

I think there were multiple mod teams working on their own ideas for half life 3 but I’ve given up looking up their progress.

Black Mesa changed Xen from a boring/annoying part of the game thst I allways skip to a absolutely stunning and exciting part of the game that I look forward to every time
