EA To Publish for Valve · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by Zonk on Monday July 18, 2005 @09:56AM from the quite-the-turnaround dept.

Primotech writes "It appears that Valve has secured EA as its new publisher. When the developer settled its lawsuit with Vivendi back in April, the company was left without a publisher to distribute boxed copies of its games. The company has tapped EA, which will publish and release Half-Life 2: Game of the Year Edition and Half-Life 2 for the Xbox sometime this year. From the article: 'EA is the worldwide leader in bringing best of breed games, for all platforms, to market...By combining EA's unparalleled operation structure and distribution channel with Valve's award-winning development teams and games community, we've established an awesome combination for delivering great products to console and PC gamers around the world.'"

Guess I have bought my last Half life game ever. Anyways, have fun with the numbers. I know there are some creative phoneline melters on slashdot.
