Half-Life 2 Submitted to VU For Approval
Dreadlord writes "After years of rumors, leaks, and delays, Neowin reports that the release candidate for Half-Life 2 has been sent to VU Games for approval. Valve's director of marketing confirmed the story to GameSpot yesterday. "Yes, the release candidate went to VUG yesterday," he said. First words on the submission came from Gabe Newell, CEO of Valve, "The RC went to VU yesterday," read Newell's one-line post on the hl2fallout.com forums."
What do you expect from them though? I mean Newell is an ex-Microsoft hack who used to sleep under his desk for Gods sake. The guy is a fucking idiot. How have they screwed the pooch on all this?
They get hacked. Hardly surprising given Gabe's stellar security on that forum, with the password of gaben.
They make up bullshit excuses about how the hack has delayed the game, despite various sources having checked the code that was leaked saying "No fucking way was this ready to ship".
They promote the shit out of Team Fortress 2 back in 1999, and it's yet to appear.
They promote the shit out of Counterstrike: Condition Zero, it's delayed over two years, and ultimately all it adds is mildly good bots, a few graphical and sound tweaks, and that's about it.
Fuck Valve. Fuck Half Life 2.
ID-style? Fuck that. The folks behind Duke Nukem' Forever have done a better job than these Valve fucktards.
