Release Candidate Sent to Vivendi

We reported just under two weeks ago that Valve were indeed aiming for a September 15th date for submitting the release candidate to Vivendi and today the man himself, Gabe Newell, has confirmed:
Quote:
Yes, the RC went to VU yesterday.
Naturally people are bound to be sceptic of this forum post, especially considering the incident with the fake gold announcment recently; however I have personally confirmed it with Gabe and so have a few other people too. From here on I'd like to urge everybody not to contact Gabe for anymore confirmations. There's only so many times in one day you can reply "yes" to an e-mail!



You can find the original forum post here on HL2Fallout.



Thanks to stokkes for breaking the news in this thread.

UPDATE: I have now also confirmed with Gabe Newell that the Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life: Source release candidates have also been sent to Vivendi.

How long does it usually take to get the game released after something like this happens?

I'm as happy as a Frenchman who's just invented a pair of self-removing trousers.
