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."
Weird - I've yet to see Steam crash on my system and I've never had to reinstall it. Well, except for a couple months ago when my 4-year-old hard drive blew up... but that was my own damn fault. :-)
