Valve got burned many ages ago with Half-Life 2 and they only go to press about a game when it's in the final phases of development, to release.

Bullshit. The actual reason will be that this is far better marketing once you're at a level of Valve. Shit gets leaked anyways, might as well make it intentionally so to fuel the hype cycle.
