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?
