Ray, Danny:
I think it's absolutely wonderful that you're coming down on VALVe 'not
supporting developers' on a list hosted by VALVe with the expressed
purpose of aiding third parties...
Everyone Else:
When you come down off the irony of that, Developer Forewarning is
one of the big issues many people had (and have) with steam. While I
doubt that any major legacy-breaking patches would be released without
any notice, it is concievable that certain games could be broken by
pushing updates down the line.
In these cases, you have to ask yourself: "Why did they break
this?". The answer is never "Because they hate you and your mod", it's
almost always stability or bloat pruning or whathaveyou. I would not be
against valve prepublishing patches to developers (as they used to do
with the sdks before new versions of half-life), but I don't think there
is the appropriate methods to do so in Steam at the moment.
