    They had multiple hard drive failures, they finally went to raid systems to protect the code, (Only took 3 times?)...

    For a multi-million dollar engine, i think its wise to spend a couple bux on raid workstations. And maybe a firewall. ;)

    Anyone remember the .com's where you brought your own PC into the office? Ya, I picture Valve like this. Sierra has always been cheap, and they love to buy companies and fire everyone. Dynamix anyone?

    I heard from a mate, who heard from a mate, who heard from a guy he spoke to on IRC, that Half Life 2 is a bit of a washout.

    He played an early release copy, he said, and there weren't even any monsters, scripted encounters or real puzzles, only a couple of half assed maps.

    I won't be buying a copy.

    Yup. I read on a message board that he changed his password from "gaben" to "secret".

    Vivendi thinks it's rubbish and that it will never sell. Too big of a risk, not a big enough fanbase
