Could this have anything to do with the reason for the so-called delay?

I don't believe there is a delay but what is up with this??

AND DO NOT POST YOUR "INSULTING PICTURES (captain obvious)" AND SAY YOUR STUPID FLAMING LINES.

Good find but i dout that has anything to with the release date

Vivendi is a HUGE entertainment conglomorate. From what I read, this wouldn't affect games division, VUGames, at all.

Vivendi is one of the 7 or so companies that owns ALL the media. TV, newspapers, radio, etc, etc. HL2 is less important than a grain of salt to them.

Here's a fun little chart

It's my understanding that their games division is one of the only profitable parts of the company. Don't they also own Blizzard?

they actually want to sell Blizzard (talk about being economical stupid..sell your best Horse..idiots...).
