Does Valve get money if Intel sponsers some tourney? Does Valve get money if you get your server free/cheaper if you make advertising for your hoster? Does Valve get money if you get any money for advertising on server?

You are allowed to pay for the game, you are allowed to pay for a server, you are allowed to pay for a tourney but Valve likes to make more money ;) And if you dream that the quality of updates for Valve games will be better due this, you should better wake up and see the reality ;) Steven Hartland wrote: > This brings some interesting questions: > * How are they going the ensure the adds are region specific > This is required to ensure that the language is correct and > local laws adhered to. > * How are they going to deal with the case that the ad's > may go against sponsorship deals for the servers or > tournaments etc. > > Its not going to go down well if a Intel sponsored tourney > started displaying adds for AMD processors in the middle > of the match. > > By the same reasoning if provider X started advertising > and this where to show up on provider Y's servers they > would be understandably pissed. > > These are just two logistical issues which spring to mind. > > Steve > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
