      Valve can’t count to 3 though.

      Expect after the Steam Deck 2 for its successors to be Steam Deck 2: Episode 1 and Steam Deck 2: Episode 2.

        Capcom had years of jokes on exactly that point with the Street Fighter series, but they eventually did release Street Fighter III.

        EDIT: For those not familiar, here’s the relevant portion of the series timeline:

        • Street Fighter

        • Street Fighter II: The World Warrior

        • Street Fighter II: Championship Edition

        • Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting

        • Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers

        • Super Street Fighter II Turbo

        • Street Fighter Alpha

        • Street Fighter: The Movie (the video game)

        • Street Fighter Alpha 2

        • X-Men vs. Street Fighter

        • Street Fighter EX

        • Street Fighter III: New Generation

          To be fair to Capcom, they did release Ace Attorney 3 quickly and it was the peak of the franchise.
