I don't think there is anything weird or strange going on, problems were found and they are taking time to fix, simple.
It will come out when it comes, every time a date is even vaguely mentioned some people think it's written in stone or something and they are owed that date....they've obviously not waited for the half-life 2 series.
This thread is just another way of asking when the VW is going to be out, should be locked like the others.
