" The gaming companies really need to start go through all the costs on all levels. Sooner or later all the communties will stop supporting the games and they have to set up all the servers themself and administrating them will not be an easy task"
EA, i believed tried this once and quickly changed their minds. Also if the adverts end up running thru our servers are we gonna get paid comission for them using are hardware to serve thier ads? i hope so. TBH with the way valve are treating us atm i'm starting to think i could make more money from serving BF2 and quake based games. Atleast their admins don't get messed around and ignored like we do currently. I've said it on the windows list in the past and i will say it here now. Valve don't care about any one of us. They are becoming, if not already become, The microsoft of the gaming world but worse. We need to stand up, shout real loud and make them pay attention because they are taking what we do for them for granted and saying it's in the gamers interest's. I've never heard so much shit in my life. Politicians lie better. Atleast when they open their mouths we take it with a pinch of salt.
