Valve has created so much free advertising that they won't have to advertise upon release.

Boy, they sure are fooling a ton of fanboys.

 

[Snewo]

I'm just sitting here secretly hoping the anouncement will be that the game is going gold. Hardly seems possible since we're not close enough to the holidays.

Oh well, the prices on the pieces for my new computer to run HL2 just keep dropping...ho hum.

 

[xelios]

Yeah, and you know how much sense it makes to leak the entire source of one of the already most anticipated games of 2003 only to get more publicity they probably don't even need.

 

[Netherscourge]

The delay about delaying the Delayed to April 2004 statement has been postponed to the Holidays.

But this is not confirmed.

 

[quaint]

its not going gold..its going pre-gold

i agree with both your points

 

[Cheetarah654]

theres no way it will go gold in the next announcement, more than likely it will be somehting like "this is when we hope it goes gold and this is when we are still trying to have it released (holidays)"

 

[Necro]

hah! i told you never ever to trust vivendi!

 

[Stryyder]

Vivendi is doing what all public companies do when it comes to talking about future earnings. They are covering their asses. You noticed how April 2004 give them a comfortable two quarter cushion?

Any other public company trying to get sold will say the same thing.

Good on you Snewo in seeing some light in these dark and dingy times. *clinky :cheers: *
