-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] This is pretty piss-poor from Valve, and all the HL2 modders on my contact list, plus the thread on the Steampowered forums attest to this. Given that its the weekend for alot of people, and the time they work on their mods, this kind of screw up can't be described in words that are suitable for this list. Seriously, when can Valve get their shit together and stop screwing modders over? This crap about ' Valve remains dedicated to supporting the mod community' is wearing thin.
