While everyone is discussing the details of the source code theft from Valve another little drama is playing itself out in the background, one which has to do with the new release date for Half-Life 2. While Vivendi Universal, through their CEO, Christophe Ramboz, claimed last week that the game had now moved back to an April 2004 release, EBGames lists the game as becoming available on November 27. Exactly how EBGames would have such a precise date remains a mystery, fueled by Valve's resistance to publicizing a revised release date.
