Why?!

Why are those jerks at Vivendi making me wait a few more hours till I can play this game sitting here on my system?! I've had HL2 pre-loaded for months...this just isn't fair. :( On the plus side, assuming they go live at midnight PST, I can play in just under 2 hours. :-D

Here's why Clickety[^] Also worth a read (very long)[^] For those who can't be bothered to read long articles, here's the short version: Valve want to release HL2 over Steam (a downloading system) which would let them cut out the middleman (letting the developer net about $30 per copy sold, rather than the meagre $7 when it's sold on shop shelves) Needless to say Vivendi weren't too happy about Valve trying to cut them out of the loop, and so threatened Valve that they'd artificially delay the release for 6 months (after it'd gone gold, that is) So be glad it's hit the shelves at all! -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Phoenix Paint - back from DPaint's ashes!

I'm all for cutting out Vivendi, but I *do* like shiny new cds to keep HL2 on, instead of my 50cents/cds that I use, so it's store-bought HL2 for me! The kindest thing you can do for a stupid person, and for the gene pool, is to let him expire of his own dumb choices. [Roger Wright on stupid people] We're like private member functions [John Theal on R&D] We're figuring out the parent thing as we go though. Kinda like setting up Linux for the first time ya' know...

That's a relief. I was worried about you. Still, I must restart my de-gullibilizing procedures again. Have to keep tabs on it, you know. Often think I would loose to an XT at a Turing test.
