Does the number 3 actually exist?

So far, Valve refuses to aknowledge the number 3, therefore, there is no Half-Life 3, Left 4 Dead 3, etc. It seems to me that Valve is telling us that the number 3 is just a myth.

I got a D- in Math, so don't ask me.

If 3 didn't exist, what's that key between 2 and 4 on your keyboard?

Oh wait, that's #. My mistake. (Don't get me started on keyboards with £)

We don't need those games we need Ricochet 2.
Seriously where's Ricochet 2 Gabe?
You know everybody loved the first one.

Don't mind me, here. Just agreeing with this man.

This sounds like a job for the MythBusters

*Big shot professor walks on stage* "Hello im here to make a statement on the number 3.Three is the first odd prime number,[1] and the second smallest prime. It is both the first Fermat prime (22n + 1) and the first Mersenne prime (2n − 1), the only number that is both, as well as the first lucky prime. However, it is the second Sophie Germain prime, the second Mersenne prime exponent, the second factorial prime (2! + 1), the second Lucas prime, the second Stern prime.
Three is the first unique prime due to the properties of its reciprocal.
Three is the aliquot sum of 4.
Three is the third Heegner number.
Three is the second triangular number and it is the only prime triangular number. Three is the only prime which is one less than a perfect square. Any other number which is n2 − 1 for some integer n is not prime, since it is (n − 1)(n + 1). This is true for 3 as well, but in its case one of the factors is 1.
Three non-collinear points determine a plane and a circle.
Three is the fourth Fibonacci number. In the Perrin sequence, however, 3 is both the zeroth and third Perrin numbers.
Three is the fourth open meandric number.
Vulgar fractions with 3 in the denominator have a single digit repeating sequences in their decimal expansions, (.000..., .333..., .666...)
A natural number is divisible by three if the sum of its digits in base 10 is divisible by 3. For example, the number 21 is divisible by three (3 times 7) and the sum of its digits is 2 + 1 = 3. Because of this, the reverse of any number that is divisible by three (or indeed, any permutation of its digits) is also divisible by three. For instance, 1368 and its reverse 8631 are both divisible by three (and so are 1386, 3168, 3186, 3618, etc..). See also Divisibility rule. This works in base 10 and in any positional numeral system whose base divided by three leaves a remainder of one (bases 4, 7, 10, etc.).
A triangle is the only figure which, if all endpoints have hinges, will never change its shape unless the sides themselves are bent.
3 is the smallest prime of a Mersenne prime power tower 3, 7, 127, 170141183460469231731687303715884105727. It is not known whether any more of the terms are prime....... AND VALVE CAN'T COUNT TO IT!
