Half-Life 2 Imminent? [Jul 28, 2004, 9:39 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
HalflifeSource (thanks
HomeLAN Fed) is
reporting news from Valve's Doug Lombardi, saying: "Half-Life 2 will be passed
on to publisher Vivendi for final mastering and duplication within days for it's
early August target. The official appearance will make store shelves sometime in
mid to late September."
I personally have no problem with a game company shipping late. Thats just about normal. It'll happen. Target dates are often just a wish in some marketting person's eye.
However, continually stating that it will make that date right til the last minute, in return for some clearly earned moolah, is wrong. Taking loyal customers along on that ride is wrong.
FWIW I hope they don't fail. I hope HL2 is great. I hope they make stacks of cash. I also hope they get the message LOUD AND CLEAR that bullshitting customers for money (abeit indirectly) is not good.
