Damnit Valve....

Their products are great but they cant release any damn game they have ever made on time, i swear. They should of just said at E3 that the game will be released later this year Q4 2003, but no....now its going to be later. Plus where the hell is the TF2 information?! I have a really bad feeling that we wont hear shit about this game for awhile, maybe not even until christmas or 2004. I remember once in an interview that they said "Can we please have TF2 before 2005?" and randy or whoever it was said "You will have it wayy before that, trust me." It's all bullshit.

Half-Life 2 Delay: Follow-Up
7/30/2003 15:04 PST | Half-Life 2 | by Fragmaster
Just a follow-up on yesterday's Half-Life 2 delay story: to clear things up, we have confirmed directly with Vivendi Universal that there is a delay. We've even double checked. Valve has yet to send an official confirmation or denial either way on this, and other sites are reporting that there isn't a delay based on alleged email answers Gabe Newell sent to random fans. In some cases, these mails are obviously forged.
Yes, Valve is developing Half-Life 2 and they have control over when the game is declared finished, but Vivendi is responsible for duplicating the game and actually getting it in stores. And that entire quality assurance, duplication, packaging, and distribution process takes time. So Vivendi has a little bit of say in the matter too, wouldn't you say?

Now, if there really wasn’t a delay, Valve could have easily sent a two line press release out telling everybody that everything was right on schedule. But they haven’t. And considering the original Half-Life, TF2, TFC, the HL SDK, Steam, CS: CZ, and pretty much every other project Valve has been involved with has suffered delays of various lengths, this latest setback shouldn’t be surprising.

Really, this isn’t a big deal, as we should still get the game this year. Valve doesn’t want to push a crappy version of Half-Life 2 out the door just for the sake of meeting some arbitrary deadline, and I’m sure they won’t ship Half-Life 2 until it is ready.
