Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Gold

On Condition Zero's Buy System on Shacknews (thanks Dr. Del) is a forum thread that includes a post from Valve's Gabe Newell that helps sort out a couple of seemingly contradictory bits, word that the game would be gold as of last Friday (story) and subsequent word that the game was in the hands of a new developer, Turtle Rock Studios (story). The update includes an e-mail from Turtle Rock confirming their participation, along with a very low-key gold announcement from the Valve managing director: "Yes, Condition Zero went gold on Friday. It will be in stores and on Steam November 18th."
