This is bad for Half Life 2. VU Games has a big ace that they can used over Valve and gamers everywhere. As Gamespot reports, VUG can hold Half Life 2 up to 6 months! I think I speak for everyone when I say... WTF!

Valve has announced that it will deliver a release candidate version of Half-Life 2 (HL2) (a game required under the 2001 SPA) to Sierra/VUG within the next few weeks. If Valve delivers a release candidate version that complies with the contract and is a Final Milestone, then VUG will have six months to release the product under the 2001 SPA. Valve is pressing VUG to release the product early within that six month window, and its representatives have made a number of public statements without our consent or concurrence that the product will be published and released to the general public in September of this year.
