another Fake Gabe Newell post ?

[Irs2k3]

We are hoping a bulk of the clients preload before this coming wednesday as then we can begin to distribute any patches and bugs we fix during the mass preloading period. We are aiming for a Friday release of next week. All versions will be available for purchase on steam beginning at midnight PST.

"as then we can begin"

ahahaha

yup. has to be. They're release steam/boxed version at the same time....and they have to get an RC appoved, and then produce the discs, and then distribute it, etc.

Looks fake, Gabe never posts there and it wasn't his writing style.

im guessing fake...

wtf? the whole game will be available for purchase? that can't be right, it isn't even gold yet (well correct me if I missed something here...) it's not even possible to be playable, cuz the preload we have is only random textures and models, there were no level on the preload...

Probably that mod just trying to get more visitors.. I would be VERY surprised if Gabe would be stupid enough to single out some random mod site to post on.

It's definitely fake.

I'm closing this thread just to emphasise that fact and I have also sent Gabe Newell's confirmed IP addresses to the Administrators of that forum to ensure that they can distinguish between real and fake if it happens in the future.

Closed.
