Portal 2 Early?

The core concept behind Portal involves bending the space/time continuum, but is Aperture Laboratories actually capable of reversing Valve Time? Possibly, as Kotaku points to clues from the Valve PotatoFoolsDay ARG suggesting Portal 2 may be released on Friday, rather than next week (thanks nin). On a semi-related note, Portal 2 pre-loads are now available through Steam. Also, on the topic of Valve Time, Brad Wardell tells IndustryGamers he thinks operating Steam is contributing to delays of Valve's internally developed games, saying: "you look at before Steam and after Steam, it's definitely had an effect." Of course Half-Life, the poster child for Valve Time, was released years before Steam was a gleam in Valve's eye, but he's entitled to his opinion. Finally, there's more on this ARG on the Dejobaan Website (where they offer this mash-up) and the Lazy 8 Website.

Also kind of shitty to see Brad wiggle his way into this news. Embarrassing sort of.

I'm not sure what he's blathering about either. Valve obviously has a team dedicated to Steam and separate teams working on other projects. In the three and a half years since Orange Box was released, Valve has put out two full games and a ton of new content for TF2, as well as some content for L4D1/2. Their next full game is set to release within a week. Three multiplatform games + tons of free DLC in less than 4 years is pretty impressive for an independent developer.

Whatever credibility Wardell had left after Elemental is now completely gone after the sale of Impulse to GameStop.
