Vaporware is when IBM comes to your company and says 'we have product X that will intergrate your Y and Z systems' when they have no such product. It is not uncommon for companies in niche markets to do such things. Companies like JDE/PeopleSoft/Siebel do it all the time to make sales. But, they do it because they know they have the resources to make it happen. Just because something is Vaporware doesn't mean it will never happen.
Perhaps most of the companies on the list should get a 'Ultra-Behind-Schedule' award instead, as it is pretty aparent that Valve does have HL2.
