Half-Life 2 for Sale? [Nov 13, 2004, 9:02 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Valve sends an explanation for why Half-Life 2 is not being activated at this
time in spite of the couple reports of it being available at retail already:
Half-Life 2 For Sale?
If you have purchased a copy of Half-Life 2, we are sorry you are still waiting to play. This is not Valve's choice. Vivendi is insisting that the game has not yet been released, and has threatened that Valve would be in violation of its contract if we activate the Half-Life 2 Steam authentication servers at this time.
Thanks for your patience and we will update you when we have more news to share.
No, I know perfectly well what a street date is. And I'm very conscious of how the whole process works. I just didn't think I'd have to type a 10-page essay to get my point across because of some little pissant like you who only reads through these posts for a chance to flame someone. F*** off. Most people who read Blue's site know that release != shipping to retailers.
The only thing I was trying to say, and should have just typed a helluva lot more in the first place, was that VU is arguing semantics at this point. Saying that the game hasn't been released yet is bullshit otherwise we wouldn't be reading about people who have already purchased the game, would we?
I'm not confused about anything. And I hope you feel sooo much better since you've displayed such a fine understanding of the oh so complex process of releasing a game. What a douche.
