The long march toward gold has hit another snag for Half-Life 2. Gamespot is taking back its "scoop" that the title was beginning its march to our retail stores. Apparently, Gabe Newell's post was not Gabe Newell. Sure, he used Gabe Newell's account, but he wasn't Gabe Newell. No, Gabe Newell set his password to 'gaben' and someone figured it out. Bad Gabe Newell. You'd think after the last security disaster, the folks at Valve would insist all employees wise up. That clearly hasn't happened. If someone grabs the source code again, there's going to be a riot.
