Unpopular opinion regarding Gman

Ik a lot of ya’ll would absolutely love to see G-man getting killed. Especially after all of his deeds (gave the Xen crystal, indirectly causing the resonance cascade, blowing up Black Mesa via activating the Bomb, kidnapping Alyx and all that). And trust me, i would absolutely be fine when the next instalment requires us to kill G-man as the final boss.

Personally though, i think it’ll leave a bad taste in my mouth. Considering how Valve painted G-man to be this alluring and mysterious character thats always over your shoulder, watching, waiting for the right moment to speak. Like his name and his (known) lore suggest, he’s merely the middle man. Set to do his work given by his employers. Thus, every action, decision he made was purely business related.

Thats why i think (personally though) that it would be better in the end of the HL franchise, the ending for the G-man as a whole would just him leaving Gordon and the earth be, due to his employers not having any more interest with the planet anymore. And then G-man would give a final speech to gordon and get off.

I think this would be a better way to end the HL franchise, leaving the players (and gordon) with the inability to truly comprehend just how much of a dreadful force G-man and his so called employers truly are.

But hey, thats just a theory, a game theory
