Vexar

I have a different theory than damolecs, even though I do respect what I've read in his posts.

Vivendi has been looking for a buyer, and have been. I believe that that Valve’s deal with them is based on Vivendi being a solvent company, and if Vivendi changes hands, Valve would get all the rights back for distributing HL2.

My guess is that Gabe is very smartly hanging onto the title until Vivendi is sold to someone so that he can distribute the title on his own with Steam, and find another publisher for the Box item. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft published the title, and incorporated steam into the next version of windows.

Like I said this is just a theory.

My running list of developers that have power over publishers. (add more) and this list isn't in any particular order so don't try and read anything into that.

id software
Epic
Raven
Lionhead
Dice
Valve
Blizzard

hmm... who else?
