A couple of mainstream articles on the Half-Life 2 source code leak have
appeared on New
Scientist (thanks Mr.Skull) and CNET
News.com (thanks Mike Martinez). Neither of those do much other than rehash
the situation, but Vivendi's
"Half Life II" game delayed by code theft on Reuters (thanks Brett
Hopkins) has the first indications of how the fallout from this is impacting the
game's release, (though this is not directly from Valve, so if the pattern
that's been established continues, we expect this is not the last word on the
topic). Here's the quote that suggests the new release date has been delayed
until at least April 2004: "A third of the source code was
stolen. It's serious because it forces us to delay the launch of the game by at
least four months, that is to April 2004. Just the time to rewrite parts of the
game," VU Games president of international operations Christophe Ramboz
told daily Les Echos in its Tuesday edition." Update: Half-Life
Source (ironically titled, under the circumstances) has their report based
on visiting Valve saying that "only a SMALL PORTION" of the source has
been stolen, and an email they attribute to "Mike Thompson who says he
works for Vivendi Universal" saying "delay is not confirmed..."
Did I mention this might not be the last word on this subject?

I guess a delay would be good for Doom 3. I don't understand how Valve really LOST any source. They do hourly backups right? No? Duh...
