Half-Life 2 Delayed Following Code Leak

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.

    Hey assholes, listen up. This goes to everyone who participates in leaded material. This includes HL2 source, it includes the Doom3 leak.

    Same goes to pirates of already-released material.

    I used to do it too, I know... it's fun, it's a rush, whatever.

    This is the consequence. Valve was making a huge effort to release a ground breaking product. HL2 is quite possible the most anticipated game to come out in a LONG time.

    You motherfuckers had to steal the source, and this is what happened. Why? Was it worth it? You still can't play it, can you? You don't have the models, the textures, or anything.

    All you did is hurt their business and the community.

    Go die somewhere.
