As for delaying it: I too...
I see. Confirmed I think is the key word here, I can't see why he wouldn't be working on an as-of-yet unannounced project; or simply looking through the many, many project ideas Valve have and seeing if any are worth fruition. The article itself makes a point of saying how strange it would be...
