Gryph Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 What was that for? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Right now it seems that many retailers are putting HL2 on shelves despite the Nov. 16th release date. On Nov. 16th Valve will turn on the authentication servers so people can actually play the game but people who have already bought the game are pissed because they can't play it. Valve wants to unlock it but Vivendi isn't letting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, you should be more selective with your use of the rolleyes smiley face since it doesn't really make sense in that post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very suprised. Not to mention that Vivendi and Valve are in the midst of somekind of legal skirmish the last I heard.... (I could be wrong though.)<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yes, yes they are.
