-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Yeah, total BS. Someone mentioned the ads will be client side. If so, the client should be able to block the ads. Then of course Steam could make more money doing like "Pay 3.95 per month to remove the ads".
So many games are going to this. Then someone referred to EA and BF. No comparison to CS or CSS. BF2 and BF2142 ROCK, PERIOD!!! They fix their bugs and issues way faster and actually test stuff or appears they do. Not bashing Valve, but the fact of the matter is CSS is not a big hit as they thought it would be. There are thousands of 1.6 servers. I myself run a CS 1.6 WC3 server. Hopefully the Project Managers listen more to the public and react to that. The gaming community is growing and is the 2nd biggest profitable entertainment next to porn as #1. I would suggest like someone else advised and to boycott Valve but in the long run it will only be affective if everyone does it. Hell, we cant even advertise on our own server. Sure, we have motd. But I would like to have something upfront advising my banner or a partner that my company has partnered with.

CS-Nation has the exclusive first interview with Valve's Doug Lombardi about this upcoming addition into the Counter-Strike world. CS-Nation: Many gamers who play CS 1.6 purchased the retail version. CS: Source was sold as part of the Half-Life 2 package. How do you think gamers who purchase your products will react to in-game ads? Doug Lombardi: We believe that gamers are going to expect and accept well-done advertising in games. We want to make sure that advertising does not detract from the game experience, so it is our hope that first time Counter-Strike purchasers will consider it simply as part of the game world. There are three information packed pages to this interview. Go ahead and give it a gander and voice your opinions in the comment section. ------------------------------------------------------- Hey permanent screw heads. Your going to pay for my fucking server when you put up ads in it? Get bloody real! This SO pisses me off. We do all the fuckin work of hosting YOUR GAME on OUR SERVERS for fucking FREE and you are now going to use it as advertisement base? What the bloody fucking hell is wrong with you people? Forgive me for all the swearing, but i basicly feel like i've been fucked up the ass with a giant baseball batt. We pay the cost for the server hardware, we pay the costs for the bandwith and propper server locations, and your gettin all the money of it? If we put up some ads in our server to help fund it you go all wah wah treadning with lawsuites 'n shit, and now your pulling the very same shit, by putting the ads in, and taking money out of our own hands. Meaning we have to pay even more cause we wont attrackt our own advertisers anymore due to this shit? What a bunch of crap shit this is.
