I can only assume these creative forums (code.design.art) are practically dead beacuase the game and SDK arnt out yet, I hope you creative people are just in hybernation ;-)
Interesting read if your into this type of stuff:

Anyone know any info on a book or something detialing the HL2 creation process?
I disagree with much said.
First, that they delayed for the holidays to make more $. Wouldnt that be obvious to them way back in July when they annoucned such a set in stone date of 9/30/03. And it doesnt gurantee more money anyway, it would have more time on the shelf before competitors...

too bad

I am still thinking it has everything to do with Steam. It is quite obvious that Steam can barely handle simple upgrades (some upgrades bout 8mb in size take near an hour to get, even though I max out at a bit over 500KBs, not 100kbps (BIG diff)).
It might also explain why Spitdfry saw...
Every day I visit bout 10 websites, (gaming/tech related) and PHL has been the first site on that list for YEARS, and Im bout 8 days ;-) away from never going there again arrgh, (sorry for double post,lazy)
I think it is horrible what this guy is doing. He is using (prob) the number one frequented site in the HL/HL2 community to boast his own opinoin again , and again.
It is one thing to state your opinoin, with some facts and shutup, its another thing, when you put it in the Daily Gieger...
