When Half life 2 was supposed to be developed by a different developer, and not valve? I remember droves of people flaming boards with outrage and so on. I think it was Ritual entertainment or something, but I could be wrong. Now, it seems HL2 has silently transitioned back to having valve as the developer seemingly right under people's noses. The outrage has subsided, but there's been no mention of it, officially or otherwise. wtf?
