No broadband. They can't stop the sheep from chewing the internet lines.

"Normally, software goes gold 1-2 months before shipping."
Not entertainment software. Most games are in stores within two weeks of going gold. I remember that Quake3 went gold on November 21 of 1999 and was officially released on December 5th, though a number of places had the game even earlier.

"To clarify, if you buy hl2 over steam you need to connect to the internet every time you want to play it to verify that you are authorised to dl it."
Well, that sort of answers my question regarding the piracy part. The idea of verifying the game every time hadn't even crossed my mind.

hl2 needs steam to run.
once you've played multiplayer every time you want to play hl2 you must connect to the internet and verify that it's a legic copy.
if you buy hl2 over steam it will always need steam to run. You can of course share your steam account with a friend for them to dl hl2 - if you don't mind sharing your credit card details and address with them.
To clarify, if you buy hl2 over steam you need to connect to the internet every time you want to play it to verify that you are authorised to dl it.

How 'bout this steam-business... I don't know a lot about it. It's a subscription service or what? If they could limit the number of ddl they could probably release HL2 on it. On the other hand... These guys worked on The Game for 5 years, and nobody new shit. Maybe they've secretly built Steam servers all over the world? (Maybe it's a 'take over the world' type thing. I just saw t3, and man that Skynet is pretty bad...

I find it strange how they could release it over Steam... the platform is hardly ready, just imagine the server load. Then there's of course the issue of obtaining CD-keys, piracy (Must be easy to spread a game you just download) and the huge file size.

They want to make money, you know...

I'm hopign for a September release too, but I have my doubts.
Normally, software goes gold 1-2 months before shipping. We're already a month from the supposed date, and still no word on it going gold. Sure, they could be keeping it under their hats, but I find it unlikely.
I'm hoping to get it next month (I pre-ordered it a few months ago on ebgames.com), but I have my doubts.

Oh come on, it'd still have been the biggest (or possibly second biggest due to the DooM3) title of E3 even if it was a totally original title from an unheard of developer.
It's just BIGGER because it's the sequel of one of the best games ever AND Valve is known for doing quality work. |

I never trust anything that's reported at Computer and Video Games, so now I'm worried 
Still I've got this on pre-order, so I'm still crossing my fingers - I don't know quite when I'll get it because I thought games normally come out on a Friday in the UK (also my local GAME has a November date for HL2).

Of course it is possible that someone living under a rock might actually know about HL2 being in development.
A more accurate phrase would be 'Unless you live under a rock which somehow shields you from receiving news...'

"Unless you've been living under a rock ..." How many stupid ass gaming previews/interviews have to start with this expression. And what purpose does it really serve? To show how "in tune" the writer is? To reassure the audience in-the-know that they are? To insult those that are not ("yes, I have been living under a rock, fuvm."). I hate crappy writing. I'm such a whiney bitch. But seriously. I hate that expression.
