LOL, a typical RIAA-style propaganda...
this issue is actually quite disputed, and I believe it's false. Just do some search (hint: eff.org).

Ben# is right, releasing source code doesn't kill the game or hurt sales. As he said, Doom, Quake, etc are still alive and still being modded mostly thanks to the source being released.

Now everyone has pretty much abandoned HL1 for HL2.

Doom 3 didn't kill Doom, and all the Quake sequels didn't kill Quake 1.

Yes the source of both HL1 and Quake - Quake 2 have been released , but they aren't open source , since you can still be (theoratically) get suited by ID or Valve for pirating their games..
Actually what the developers did was indeed very tricky!
they only released a part of it , in form of a MOD sdk while keeping the Main Engine classified source(like HL1) , or by freely releasing the source code but not freeing the maps , graphics , models, etc .. meaning that you can do whatever you want with the code but not with the full original game(like quake2)
