There are plenty more servers that use the hat/item plugins *without* charging people money for them.
I'm also very firmly of the opinion that server owners should be allowed to modify the game as much as they want, provided their changes don't affect anything beyond the gameplay on their server. A plugin that gives people hats on a specific server is harmless (in so far as it doesn't affect peoples' stats or achievements or anything, or even the gameplay on that server), and there's no reason to prevent it from working aside from a stubborn insistence that only Valve get to decide who has access to what imaginary videogame headwear. The main draw of Valve's games for me has always been that they're highly modifiable (particularly since so many bugs seem to slip through nowadays that it's often up to the community to make the game playable at all). When they start blocking stuff out (intentionally or otherwise) they're really hurting the game's appeal. The Source SDK is also in an increasingly sorry state, not to mention how complicated creating custom content for newer titles like L4D2 has become. It's a discouraging trend and one I hope to see reversed. -Dave On Saturday, May 01, 2010, at 09:54PM, "Alexander Baade" <[email protected]> wrote: >Are there any other mods/plugins that are effected by this other than the 2 >listed on the petition.
