My point exactly. CS 1.6 is an old game that is costing them a lot more money to run than they're making out of it. You may be running a server for love or profit, or both. Valve is a business too, and has responsibilities to the shareholders to remain profitable. That the content servers and network is still running AND being upgraded all the time is to their credit. No doubt many of their staff still play 1.6 for fun as well. On the other hand, you can count the number of EA's CNC games with current lobby systems running on the fingers of no hands. They made their money and then dump the project in the hands of the community, or third parties like IGN, and if nobody else picks up the ball, well, tough shit. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
