I think this wasn't posted before:

What's Next for Valve and Half-Life 2?

Here's a part from it:

The story became even more muddled on Tuesday when "anonymous leaker" issued a patch for the leak and included release notes claiming that Valve had lied all along about its planned Sept. 30 release of Half-Life 2 and vowed to release the entire stolen code and assets for the game to prove it unless Valve came clean. While it is uncertain if "anonymous leaker" is the actual person who broke into Valve's computers, code continues to float around the Internet, with movies and screenshots becoming more and more prevalent. It is almost certain that more maps and more assets from the game will trickle out. There is also speculation that assets from Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike 2 and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero may have been part of the theft. Newell announced late yesterday that Condition Zero goes gold on Friday, but apparently a leaked version of the game is already showing up on warez sites.

Check it out. :bounce: Also it talks about possible risks of using Steam after the theft, comments from other companies, etc.

Thanks for the link and this is the key part:

said Peter Molyneux, head of Lionhead Studios. "We are currently considering restricting Internet access to certain key individuals."


Well no friggin DUH!

If you million dollar + code is connected to the internet in any sort of way you have to two options. Spend time and money securing your networks, or take you pc's off the internet.

It's not that hard.

Ok, I'll cool it down a little. I just wish this could be the one community where I could go to find HL2 info. It's pretty annoying that I have to hunt around isonews and warez forums just to find out WTF is going on, simply because the mods are going nuts with thread-locks here.

Hell, I don't want to know HL2 spoilers just like I don't want to know national security secrets, but I sure as hell would like to know if/when they get leaked, and what kind of information was leaked.

Well the word always gets around and it seems the trail always go through here: so you might not get the news first-hand or even the second it happens, but you can be sure you will hear about it here.

Or you can always idle in multiplayer-notepad to hear the latest : )

By going on warez sites, tells you about leaked info? Just visit PHL, which has latest updates...
