I think Valve is triing to become the next Microsoft. The Steam tools is crappy, and damage users gameplay with delays and failures, and restrict singleplayer ability. Its the first step of a highly dangerous technology to damage freedom: DRM. Valve as work dirty in the past. Unable Quake1 developpers to use both tools and some media into Quake1. Abducting good mods inside (like Counter-Strike). Valve overload the market with his product, that unable oportunitys for other developers. Valve write nazi Licenses.
So.. I understand people that may *HATE* Valve. I not hate Valve. Valve is a enterprise that make good games. Half-Life was a very fun and good game. Valve provide nice SDK for modders to work from a clean start, and update the engine to mantain the community alive. Respect. Respect to the impresive good work Valve as do in the past, and is actually doing. Respect to the giganteous community around some hl based mods, like DOD, TFC and CS. Respect, consult your dictionary. If you think now the target is Valve. Please re-think. Its not cool to fuck a lot of people that where triing to get his fun from this. And Its not cool to fuck people doing fun games for all of us. If you have fun hacking, download Uplink game. If you want to fight DRM, send slow letters to your Congressman. Query him publically. If you want you piece of pie, *make better games*. Let other people have his fun with Valve. -Tei pd: my english is crap. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
