Well what can I say but WTF? is Valve telling us porky's or did the hackers get more that just the source code? This just in from Neowin.net.

Originally the source code leaked in a 32meg package last week. The leak spelt the beginning of an investigation into how this could have happened. The result? A flurry of forums across the internet all buzzing about the leak of code to one of the most anticipated games of all time. Most believe the leak of source code is a bad thing and yet the leak of a beta copy of the game isn't.

Today the Half Life 2 Beta leaked across the world onto the internet via IRC channels. The release by "anon" shows it's obvious that the hackers who managed to sucessfully steal source code of the game itself also stole the game itself and who knows what else.

For More Info Head on Over to ..... Neowin.net

Now this puts the final nail in the coffin; we're never gonna see this game now. The big question here is WTF is going on over at Valve? Seriously

Just spotted this in the nfo file:

| false." |

| Well, I hope nobody believed this rumor. Who would actually be |
| good enough to get the source, but forget the game ? |

| To myg0t: this is too big for you to take credit :P |
