Maybe - That depends if Valve is reading these messages. I sincerely hope that they are.
I agree with a previous poster that they need to be careful with their responses. If I were Valve, I would be very selective with my words. I *DON'T* agree with another poster that Valve "Doesn't Care" about their games or what we say about them. That's just silly reverse psychology. I certainly HOPE these emails from server operators aren't pointless. That would mean those who support valve are effectively neutered, and the only thing we can do to "retaliate" is to "not buy valve products", which would be a crappy final outcome for EVERYONE involved, don't you think? I am personally of the opinion that Valve WANTS us to be involved in their products and to support them as server operators. However I also believe that Valve is NOT prioritizing these issues as highly as what is warranted. I think we can **ALL** agree that this bug is grievous and should have been fixed long ago. I love everything about TF2's gameplay. What I don't like are the glaring exploits and bugs that ruin the experience for OUR players (Mine *AND* Valve's - we're in this together). Since I am involved in Valve's product to a large degree, I feel I have earned the right to voice my opinion given my current investment in Valve's products. I've given Time, Hardware and purchased bandwidth to their products, and would like to continue doing so - but I DO expect things in return from Valve. Sorry, I don't feel this thread is useless, nor do I think anyone that complains is even REMOTELY out of line. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Darren Gordon Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 3:27 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Valve It's Time To Listen And Answer! "I doubt a boycott/shutdown would do anything significant." Kind of like this current thread yeah?
