hl2 Pushed back..
ATTENTION!!!!!!!! I got through to Gabe on the phone, and he was nice enough to talk to me about the release. He sounded a bit annoyed, but he was a good sport. He even sent me this, and asked me to share it with you guys. We love you Gabe! http://www.poisonfrog.com/gabe_hello.jpg -

hl2 Pushed back..
ok, I think I was right about Vivendi asking for a christmas holiday release. They fear Steam. And I think ATI also wants to postpone so they can have thier HL2+RadeonXT bundles ready to ship in stores around the same time. I think Gabe realized this was going to happen a long time ago, but the... -

hehe, what the heck. I got bored and found these. They look like extremely early game development footage of the HL1 engine from 1997. Probably to playtest the maps. http://www.valvesoftware.com/hocopus/avis/turret.mpg http://www.valvesoftware.com/hocopus/avis/headcrab.mpg... -

Personally, I would be happy if they atleast gave us the SDK to play with until they are finished with the game. This will give them time to polish the game even more, and maybe add some new features as well. Also consider, that maybe Vivendi wants to postpone the realease to something closer... -

Just to give a ballpark idea of how much Vivendi has already lost to Steam, lets take for example the "reported" 500,000 subscribers to STEAM already. That's, in STEAM terms, about $10 per head, x500,000, which equals 5 million a month straight to Valve's pockets. Now, Vivendi will be selling... -

Seriously though. I can see how Vivendi would go ballistic over Steam. Already it's cut into thier profits, and it shows no end of stopping. Vivendi stands to lose a buttload, and they also have no way of projecting how many units they will sell. How do you know how many units to print and... -

Maybe it's a distributing deal gone sour? Perhaps the game will be ready on the 30th(or around that date) for Steam users, initially. But the retail box versions may not be ready to ship because perhaps Vivendi and Valve have had a falling out over this whole Steam business... Gabe could be in...
