I think that second nfo file is funny. The first thing I thought when I saw that HL2 was delayed until April 2004, and their excuse (it's the hacker's fault, we have to rewrite a bunch of code now), was that they were just grabbing at the air for excuses to delay the game.

And after reading the second .nfo, I honestly think that I was right thinking that.

I bet a bunch of the valve fanboys are gonna jump on me for saying this, but I'll bet the game wasn't even close to completion on Sept. 24 when they delayed the game until the holidays, and I'll bet that they realized that the game won't be complete by the holidays either so they used their source code leak as an excuse to be able to delay the game further. That way, all of the people who are eagerly anticipating the game can focus their hatred towards the source code thieves instead of valve themselves. Clever tactics indeed.
