Reddit reviews The 37th Mandala

I'll share what I sent him.

> Thank you for reaching out to us - the community. We're sad and frustrated at the lack of news with our favorite franchise. Because of you, we haven't been banging our heads against a brick wall. You've responded to us, to me time and time again. I'm sorry if I've bugged you.

> Obviously, your retirement will stir uncertainty in the Half-Life community. Even I'm a tad worried now; will we ever find out what happens next? Will Valve ever talk to us about the fabled franchise? I fear that with your parting there will no longer be any communication about it. All I hope is that in the end, one day we will all know what on earth happened.

> Gaming is like story telling of the future. We're not sat around campfires anymore, but it's the same principle. A universe created in another's imagination is projected and shared. We invest ourselves in these universes; they exist in all of those that would consume them. Alas, it saddens me to see you leave our campfire.

> What conclusion to the story will the community create for itself I wonder? Writers are so under appreciated these days. That's the problem when you create a universe this compelling I guess. The universe is all people see!

> Do keep writing Marc and all the very best to you :)

He thanked me and denied nothing. Really great guy. I'm considering picking up one of his books, notably the 37th Mandala.
