Valve doesn't "take" pre-order money, thats the vendors like EB and Gamestop who do that. Christ, Duke Nukem Forever has been available as a "pre-order" for years and I'm quite sure that 3DR doesn't see a dime of that.
If you want to point a finger I'd look at Vivendi. I'd wager that this delay can be traced to their marketing suits. Besides, theres still a lot of good games coming out between now and Xmas to keep everyone occupied.
