You know, it's always the same tired old argument: "Well if it weren't for us who run the servers, online multiplaying would not exist.". Give me a break. Look how many servers are out there right now? Do you think the few of you who are in here pissing and moaning are really going to be the end-all of online gaming.
Again, you have choices here. No one is holding you hostage to run a HL server. If you don't like it, don't run one. It really is as simple as that. Good luck with your future endeavors.

Do they not see that the number of servers directly affects the number of players and in turn the amount of income? It's nice to see that Valve is concerned for the CS community enough that long-time faithful server admins are now getting screwed with an ever declining quality of hlds, and refusal from the manufacturer to do anything about those problems. That goes back to the original quote from the cz overview. Sure.... Valve is working closely with the CS community, just look how cooperative they have been..." Point is, if you don't like it... Move on.", "Here's an option, stop running it.". Well if it weren't for us who run the servers, online multiplaying would not exist. And although no one has ever paid for the server software, all people who play on the servers and even those who run the servers have bought a copy of HL/CS. Here's a thought, try some Customer Service....it works well for a lot of companies. I rent game servers and have decided based soley on the attitude of correspondance here that I cannot support a game (Half-Life) that the dedicated server is not fully supported by the maker. I will also not carry HL2 game servers unless there is a big turn around in the attitude reflected on the CUSTOMERS who run servers for the community.
