Half-Life 2 Delayed

[Sep 23, 2003, 11:59 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Shacknews has finally received official word that Half-Life 2 will not be making its planned release date of September 30, something a quick glance at the calendar can confirm. Here's the quote from Valve's Doug Lombardi:

The previously announced September 30th release date for Half-Life 2 is being pushed back. We are currently targeting a holiday release, but do not have a specific "in-store" date to share at this time. We will release that information as soon as we have confirmed a new date.

Lied to? Only indirectly...

Valve never came out and said Half-Life 2 was a for sure release on Sept 30th, but they never said it wasn't going to either. Ever since the word got out from Vivendi, Valve has been icnredibly incompetant with their PR reguarding the release. They'd avoid any questions about it, and waited til NOW, 6 DAYS BEFORE RELEASE, to tell us.

Yea, I'm sure they didn't know it wasn't going to make it sooner... ook valve. Look at me i'm almost convinced that you didn't screw thousands of people into thinking you were going to release your game on time.. maybe you should use that 8 million you got from ATI to buy yourself some damn mannors, huh?
