Odklad hry na rok 2011

Portal 2 měl podle původního oznámení vyjít na konci tohoto roku. Nyní je vydání přeloženo na rok 2011, bez konkrétního upřesnění. Valve k celé věci vydalo stylovou tiskovou zprávu po vzoru předchozích zpráv. Zpráva je opět zaštítěna fiktivní společností Aperture Science, v jejíž laboratořích se Portal odehrává. Také bylo upřesněno, že plánované překvapení se týká Portalu, čímž by měly být veškeré dřívější spekulace ukončeny:

June 9, 2010 — Aperture Science, doing business as Aperture Laboratories LLC, in partnership with Valve today announced the successful completion of an ethics-review-panel-supervised release date restructuring process. Portal 2, the sequel to the ground-breaking title that earned over 30 Game of the Year awards despite missing its original ship date, is now targeted for a 2011 release.

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.

To ask questions about how close we all came to dying, or to ask futile questions about the previously announced E3 ***PORTAL-2-THEMED-FOR-GOD’S SAKE*** surprise or, less futilely, to schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve’s delegate to the EU’s Valve Time Studies Group, Doug Lombardi.
