Episode One takes much longer than expected to come out, but it's still at a lower price. The fans aren't happy at the delay, but at least they now have HL2 and HL2: Episode One to play.

Are you saying that it's okay to pirate a game because it was delayed?

So, not much of a bargain now is it? Maybe for people who had NOT SUPPORTED VALVE, it was a great deal, but for those that had, it was a bit of a slap in the face. There was lots of complaining at the time.

Not true. Episode 2 was released on it's own, at a suitably low price, at the same time as the Orange Box. I bought it.
