At this juncture, with so much information and evidence that the mod actually does exist, what I’d need now to show that it is a hoax is some pretty solid evidence from those saying it’s a hoax.
I am so eager to play Black Mesa, it’s not even funny, but it’s a free mod so I can wait for it to be finished. If it never comes out and it is, indeed, a hoax, well, I wasn’t centering my life around waiting for BM anyway, so I’ll just move on.
