Well actually, as server admins we are giving valve stuff for free too. Without us, there would be no CSS or HLDM servers and valve would have to run their own.
We provide a free service for them, the more SRCDS server there are the more likely people are to buy valves software and they intern provide a free service for us. It's a symbiotic relationship. And expecting a software development company to test their software before releasing it, isn't too much to ask I don't think :) Especially when you have an update platform like steam It'd be nice to get an explanation out of valve of what happened... not to point the finger at anyone, but just for them to be able to tell us how they are going to stop it happening again.

SO WHAT? They provide the server software for FREE, the bandwidth for FREE! You cannot be asking for quality of service for software that is provided to you for free. If you know you might have problems with updates, dont autoupdate, have backups, etc. AND STOP BITCHING! I think Valve/Steam doe a GREAT JOB!
