Yet Valve/Gabe Newell still claimed September 30th as a valid release date, when they knew it was never gonna be finished in time. And here we are almost a year later and where is it? Don't get me wrong, I would rather wait for a more polished product than a rush job, it's just the lies I can't stomach. Did anyone else notice in the leak, you could only select OpenGL from the drop down menu, yet the game is touted as DX9!

Well from the net last week the game is finished and sent to the publisher for final checks then duplication. Also some show or other has a proper playable version at it this weekend I think. So maybe it will actually come out in september this year!!
