Valve hasn't developed anything new since Mike Harrington left the company. Gabe can't stand the thought of working with people smarter than himself, thus, the current group of retards that work for valve. Simply opening the same old source code in the latest version of visual studio and recompiling isn't a new version, it's the same old software. So basically they have been reselling the same version of the quake engine since 1996. Steam isn't going to cut it and valve will ultimately fail. Even razer is getting in on the gamer community action with their new razer comms software. I have to laugh at all the dumbasses that thought it was a great idea to let a private corporation keep all the installation files for software they purchased. Have fun on the day valve pulls the nic cables from the switches. The only security for mod/game developers is to code their own game engines and tools. But alas, all the kiddie-coders of this generation don't have a clue about actually doing that, so they will ultimately try to crowbar games out of 3rd party engines like cryo and unreal. And the gamer community will be stuck playing the same games with different flavors of graphics and such. It's a crying shame what valve has done. I wish good ol' Mike would just start a new game-ware company and put the final nails in the valves coffin. This message isn't to troll the group it's a wake up call to all the people that made the community great and the games better. Stop wasting your time trying to use this valve garbage and keep re-fixing all the stuff they break with every update. Start learning to code, and apply your know how to something you can actually control. that is all, have a nice day.
