You read the title right, it's as if a thousand companion cubes cried out in anger, and were suddenly silenced. Valve says "making games is hard" and we won't disagree, but Portal 2 is delayed, until 2011 at least.
Originally due for this years holiday season, Portal 2 was headed to the PC and Xbox 360, but with no reason as to the delay, Portal 2 is now due sometime next year.
Representatives from both companies acknowledged that public safety concerns factored into the decision. They went on to say that even though Portal 2 will arrive slightly later than planned, all life on earth won't instantaneously stop as every molecule in your body explodes at the speed of light, which is what would happen should a rip ever appear in the fabric of Valve Time.
Also, the game will be even better, they added, missing an historic opportunity to create the first product delay press release to mention that a product is being delayed to make it worse.
Can you hear that? It's a crying companion cube.
