If the paragraph you quoted is indeed Marc talking about Valve, then I feel that the sentence,

> "I expect you know... the appropriate course of action, and I leave you to it."

points to the hope that people will take this story and create fan games with it. Having seen the tremendous quality and effort put into the Black Mesa [0] remake, I have great faith that the inevitable fan-made Episode 3 will live up to expectations.

Here lies Anarcho-Syndikalism, a concept that was proven to work under less favorable conditions, but stagnated in self-strangulation due to unreasonable risk avoidance.

One wonders how much that piece of paper at valve is really worth.

That's exactly my feeling too.
