Sadly it was said that valve lost the source code to Prospero, the other game they were working on alongside Half-Life
Comment on The story of a crazy Half-Life 2 bug, as told by former Valve dev Tom Forsyth (Mastodon thread)

Very cool.
Also Valve is legitimately one of the only devs who kept original source code from 2004.
Even Blizzard lost the original World of Warcraft code.
