They've been working on this engine for five years. It is the cumulation of five years of work, during which time they had zero profit coming from that project. Do you really think they would let it fall by the wayside in neglect? Valve has stated that they will fully support this new engine, even better then they did HL1 (the support of which, lets face it, could have been better.) They are also in a better position to do so, since the engine is entirely the IP and not an offshoot of another engine. Valve has also stated they are taking a break before they start coding HL3. I think we're in for some pretty good support this time around. -- Jorge "Vino" Rodriguez _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
