The developers at Valve are incredibly mysterious and because of that, we all have our theory as to why they keep information from us.
The developers at Valve(especially Gabe) know that we will explode in joy if ANY information regarding Episode Three is released. For all we know, Episode Three is making progress than we think. Anything Half-Life has a MASSIVE impact on Valve and their fans. The devs know that Ep3 is a much bigger project than L4D2 and they want L4D2 to make a lot of money. So, if they were to reveal anything about Episode Three before the year ended, it would take away Left 4 Dead 2's impact.
The Half-Life games don't sell amazingly but they do sell substantially. They learned last year that L4D can be used as a cash cow and they have L4D2 to prove that even further. They Half-Life games don't sell 3 million copies in the first two days after release like Halo 3; but Valve knows they been holding in Ep3 for long enough that even if Gabe Newell stepped up on a stage and said "Half-Life 2: Episode Three" then walked off, that we would scream like tweenage girls who had just seen Robert Pattinson.
I don't expect Valve has very much done with Ep 3 just yet. I say that they're maybe 2 fifths through the game. But that's more than what most of us think. They don't want us to know production on Ep3 is making progress at all. They want us to have our mind in the gutter until a few months after L4D2's release. The soonest I see info is maybe a little teaser at The Spike VGAs.
Lemme know your thoughts on this but if you're going to criticize, please be constructive rather than say "ZOMG UR SOOO DUM BCUZ YYOU TINK DAT!".
P.S. Sometimes I like to pee on children then yell at their parents for trying to stop me.
