-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] He may have gone a little over the top, but Valve really does need to get its shit together. They are a software company... they can't half-ass. I run quite a few servers as well, and every time a new update comes out something stops working. SRCDS hasn't worked right on Linux since last November. It's been 5 months! FIX IT!
It's not just srcds that hasn't worked right, the original engine has also been bugged since then. srcds has been beta since it's release to be fair. It certainly isn't - and never has been a finished product. For me, the most annoying things about the srcds engine are the servers just stopping (with the countdown timer stuck at zero), voice_speex not working, and the SDK being out of date (I won't go into the lame SDK which hinders - not prevents - mod developers writing creative plugins) Clearly some issues should have been fixed more promptly than they have been, whilst others should never have happened in the first place. As for RaynServ, he is doing exactly what a lot of people have suggested to do when people dare to speak out about the bad practices of Valve's software development and release cycle, he is voting with his feet, fair play.
