Maybe I should post this in Paranoia, but I have a "theory" of what really happened with Halflife 2. You see, they said it would be coming out in september 2003, but they were WAAAAAY behind schedule, too much time spent snorting cocaine off strippers ass cracks and whatnot. So what do they do to buy more time? Make two goons their strawmen and have them "steal" the source code of the game, then release it to the net. Then start screaming nonsensically that because of this, they need to rework the source code so that people can't reverse engineer their game. Brilliant! That would buy them time, they figured, but they knew we wouldn't wait forever before we started bellowing for their blood so they said something reasonable, like April 2004. But it's soooo HARD to stop being lazy after you've made a life style out of it, so here we are, 10 months after the originally proposed release date, three months after the revised release date, and still have two months to go before the re-revised release date, when they will tell us that a Columbian death squad stormed their offices and stole all the computers that had the data on them.
