On the contrary, Valve can do whatever the heck they want. I just don't appreciate losing compatibility with my current rig. It's a moot point since I'm going to be building a new one soon anyways. It just sucks when the game you once could play, now is unplayable. It's one thing to be unable to play a game cause your rig makes the game run 100x faster then it was meant to run cause the game is so old. Even then you can usually tweak it to be playable. But if in the long run it gets rid of some of the retarded assed exploits that are currently apart of the source engine that will be nice.
I haven't exactly played the beta so i can't say whether the changes are good or bad. I think the most important part is being able to have regular updates that will fix the exploits that come about. Some of Valves responses to exploits insofar that have been documented and given to them is either a slipshod patch or no response at all. I can appreciate them not responding because they were going to move to OB and eliminate a bunch of work that would have been trashed anyways. But we'll see.
