So you guys think that by bringing Valve even more work, having them compile special debug builds and run special servers, will get us bug fixes?
Hahahaha! There's plenty of people reporting bugs to them as is (with steps to replicate, crash dumps, etc), giving someone lazy extra work won't somehow make them improve. And I'm still (hopelessly?) hoping that with the impending OXS Source Engine launch we'll get some bug fixes as well.
