Half-Life remake Black Mesa given retail go-ahead from Valve

Newsbrief: The team behind fan-made Half-Life remake Black Mesa has been given the go-ahead by Valve to sell the game as a retail product via Steam. The re-envisioned game, put together over the course of several years by Half-Life fanatics, was greenlit just over a year ago through Steam Greenlight. Now Valve has given the team permission to sell the remake. The studio noted that the free version of the game will remain available, and be updated alongside the paid version. The latter is simply an option for players to support the team, it said.
