Half-Life Goes Gold Official

Half-Life Goes Gold Official is the story on November 10, 1998, and it is one of those late-1998 PC gaming updates that says exactly where the scene is right now. Althougth we mentioned it yesterday Sierra Studios sent out a official press release announcing today that Half-Life, one of the most anticipated games for the holiday season, has gone gold and will be in stores before Thanksgiving weekend. Developed by Valve Software, this first-person 3D action shooter has been getting a lot of attention in the last couple of months since the release of the 250mg OEM demo.

For players keeping track of patches, demos, hardware drivers, online events, and retail releases, this is the sort of news that can change what gets installed tonight. The business side keeps moving, and sometimes those deals decide what we actually get to play next year.
