	Weebull 21:28 18/10/2004	Here's a thought: Warez HL2 will no doubt make it out before the retail release. So VU lose money due to piracy. BUT, Valve have already gotten people to fork over their money for HL2 through Steam, so even though they can't release HL2 through Steam til the 16th either (due to not wanting to get sued), they get to laugh all the way to the bank.
