Half-Life 3 isn't a real priority - Gabe Newell spill the beans

Something tells me that Half-Life 3 won´t be released anytime soon...
Im sad to say that i don´t have any good news to tell you guys about Half-Life 3. Actually, i just have bad news to tell you all at this moment. Cuz apparently Gabe Newell told the Washington post that "Half-Life 3 isn't a real priority".
Those words feelt like a dagger through my heart really. I mean, how can Gaben turn his back on the Half-Life fans like this? Why all this teasing and hints about a HL3? (concept art pictures). Was that just for the fun of trolling us?
Im starting to wonder if that´s not the case here. One thing is for sure though. Valve will focus on pretty much anything, but Half-Life 3. For example, some days ago a Source 2.0 engine picture of Left 4 Dead 3 leaked out on the internet.
So im starting to realize that even IF Half-Life 3 actually get´s a release date and all that. HL3 won´t be released anytime soon. But at the same time. I don´t understand why Valve and Gaben acts like this? To me, it makes no sense at all.
The perfect time to release Half-Life 3 would be now. Black Mesa made the brand popular again, and the PS4 and Xbox One are out. So i find it very unlogic to put the development of HL3 on ice even longer.
But what do you boys and girls think? Will HL3 ever happen? If so, WHEN will it happen?

Gissar att mina bröder också blir besvikna :O Det enda jag vet om spelet är att huvudkaraktären heter Gordon Freeman (Y)
