I guess it's about time to quit thinking about HL2 and go back to my normal schedule. It was all hype for millions the last 2 weeks before the 30th. But now since everything has hit the fan it's better just to drop everything and move on. HL2 will be released but not when you expected. Now with all this new info I'm doubting everything. Just expect huge changes very soon. Valve probably wont release any new information for a long while, if any. Also, I'm very afraid I'll have a copy of Doom3 in my hands before Half life 2. But who knows the details right now except for Valve. They could have well known about the leak/theaft long before the "delay" was first announced. Which is a good bet since the lack of information given about the delay in the first place. It also could be the reason the announcement was released so late to the 30th. With everything going on around Valve, along with Gabe's oddly uninformational comments. Expect to be beaten around the bush for quite awhile. It's impossible to know why production was delayed, or if any thing that Valve says is even close to being factual. Is the delay because of Steam? Is the delay because they knew the source was compromised? Is the delay because they just are not finished, as Gabe says himself? If anything, I'm betting Gabe is just humoring us. Valve will tell us "What we want to hear" as long as we believe they are telling the truth. The "holiday release" most like just a ruse to stop a torrent of uncontrolled chaos, while Valve works hard to pound out their own problems. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The problem is now that the information has gone public, will Valve follow up on the holiday release, or figure that they broke one date, they might as well break the next. Which I'm sad to say is a convenient way of thinking. It's not right, but it keeps the populace under control, while they buy some time.
