Over 6.5 million copies of Half-Life 2 were sold at retail by December 3, 2008, making it a bestselling PC game (not including the number of sales via Steam). It won the title of "Game Of The Decade" at the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards. The game won 39 "Game of the Year" awards, and a couple of publications have named it "Game of the Decade". It was praised for its advanced physics, animation, sound, AI, graphics, and narrative. Like its predecessor, Half-Life 2 was met with near-unanimous critical acclaim. It introduced the Source game engine and, because of Steam, is the first video game to require online product activation. The game was developed alongside Valve's Steam software. Developed by Valve Corporation, it was initially released on November 16, 2004, following a protracted five-year, $40 million development cycle, during which a substantial part of the project was leaked and distributed on the Internet.
