“Hey, you know what would be fun? Let’s release really old versions of some of our games - I think fans would get a kick out of seeing them!”

“Ugh, no. Why would we want to spend the money on testing and supporting something that only a small fraction of the player base would even care about?”

“Um, ok. How about if we “accidentally” push it with our next release. We won’t have to do anything to support it - modders willl figure out how to get it going, so we don’t have to do anything, and they get a fun Easter egg. Win win.”

“Accidentally?”

“Yeah. People will backfill some reasoning for how even though we’re a professional software company, we have no idea how source code control systems work. It’ll be fun to see what they come up with.”

Yeah, that's believable, esp given the culture at Valve.
