Half-Life 2 Delayed Following Code Leak

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sucks-for-the-gamers dept.

jhol writes "CNN is reporting that Half-Life 2 is delayed "by at least four months, that is to April 2004.", due to the code leak. VU Games has already suffered a 29% fall in revenue and an operating loss of $61.36 million this year. A Christmas release of Half-Life 2 would probably have been most welcomed." Update: 10/07 20:38 GMT by S : CNN Money are now reporting there's a newly public leak, allegedly involving a partially playable, Beta pre-release of the game.

    Ok, it's not that bad but I'm modarately disappointed. But some of these fanboys I've been reading posts from on USENET might just kill themselves. Maybe someone should set up a crisis counciling center?

    Was the code that was stolen then deleted by the thief?

    That would be awful! The stolen code would be distributed to millions and Valve would have no way of getting that widely distributed code back!!!

    You know the Duke Nukem developers are kicking themselves, saying "Why didn't we think of that."

    Nah, Duke Nukem Forever to beat Half-Life 2 to market.

    Because they'd need actual source to leak? :-)
