A quick question about HL2 release

[Kouch]

Hi guys,

sorry if this has been asked and answered already but this is just a quick question. So does the release date of 16th mean that the game will be unlocked at 12:00 AM on the 16th of november? If so I know what time the alarm is being set to for the 16th

yes, it's been asked and answered 20 billion times already. the answer is yes, if you live in the U.S. Pacific timezone. If you don't, it'll be a different time for you.

But there has still been no official confirmation of this from Valve or Vivendi has there?

Yes, it was confirmed on the steam forums I beleive.

There was a stickied thread by Smash (a Mod) on the Steam forums which was unstickied and locked (again, by Smash) because of the lack of confirmation on this.

Which is why I would like to get some kind of official word.
I want it to be true, but without confirmation, it is still just speculation.
