Half Life 2 Available, Delays Not Valve's Fault

Evil Avatar has the word that even Best Buy is selling Half-Life 2 boxes at this point. If you're planning on picking this one up it should be available pretty much anywhere. Voodoo Extreme has news from Steam that in no uncertain terms are the delays in opening the game to customers their fault. From the article: "This is not Valve's choice. Vivendi is insisting that the game has not yet been released, and has threatened that Valve would be in violation of its contract if we activate the Half-Life 2 Steam authentication servers at this time."

Moderators: you ought to look at Gabe Newell yourself and take the joke before you start modding people down.

Try to remember what the offtopic mod is designed to do; it dissuades users from posting things like GNAA, "x is dead. Truly an American icon," etc.

A couple degrees of separation from the root topic is acceptable. Therefore, the parent post, and even this one for that matter, is acceptable material. Stop abusing Slashdot.
