Exactly, I won't promote bad behavior such as what you're suggesting. Be thankful they are on the mailing list communicating with us. Be thankful they are taking our suggestions and feedback and actually doing something about it. Be thankful they responded with fixes QUICKLY yesterday. Very few companies these days listen to what their customers have to say.
Sure you can argue "custom tab..." till your blue in the face, but guess what? Eventually they did what we asked for. Go right ahead, take your servers down, and while you're at it maybe you can unsubscribe from the mailing list as well? After all I don't want to promote any bad behavior. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karl Weckstrom Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 12:18 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Server Browser and Matchmaking You do that.

I talked to Jason and it simply seems like they couldn't make the deadline. They were working on it up until the very release. Yes, they could have handled things a big differently, but at least many of the errors were fixed within a few hours. At least they are communicating with us on some level. So you go right ahead and make a statement by taking down your l4d servers. I'll keep mine up and work with the development team to improve the game for everyone else.> Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2008 14:05:28 -0500> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Subject: Re: [hlds] Server Browser and Matchmaking> > Boy it sure would be nice if Valve would do some decent things, like:> > 1.
