Alright, I just read through this entire series of posts and have some things to say:
1. Stop flaming VALVe, without them, you wouldn't have the game you have(Server companies wouldn't be making money off of it either). Besides, complaining doesn't help, just state the problem, solutions if you found them, and how to reproduce it. 2. The SDK will be ready when they finish it. 3. Stop asking for the source code, you know you won't get it, and if you do, I highly doubt you can "out-code" VALVe's coders. 4. The updates, from the beginning, have been set to be released on Wednesdays. Though, it has been mostly skipping between Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday; that's close enough. 5. Bugs are not a new phenomenon. This game, and every game before it(including original Half-Life) has had a lot of bugs, especially with the original versions.
