How my favorite video game was delayed

Wired 13.01: The Shadow Internet

It's cool how they did it, and what they did. However, becuase they did it Half-life 2 had to be reprogrammed and because that happened it delayed it's release for another 2 years. So I have been waiting 4 years to buy Half-life 2. If those hackers didn't do that then maybe we would have a Half-life 3 right now. I guess I'm only mad becuase I didn't get the pirate version of Half-life 2 like everyone else did.
