Post allegedly from Valve engineer says the SDK for the eagerly awaited title should ship out "soon."
Gamers looking for a positive sign in the ongoing Half-Life 2 saga may be in luck. A recent Halflife2.net post features an e-mail attributed to Valve engineer Rick Ellis which says the software developer kit for the mega-anticipated sequel "will be released soon." Presumably, the game"s release would be not far behind--possibly even ahead--of the SDK"s. Interestingly, the e-mail also says a "legal hang-up" was the last hurdle Valve had to overcome before releasing the SDK. This revelation caused some speculation that physics-engine-creator Havok may have possibly sued Valve over the now-infamous code leak.
