I'm not paying 20 bucks for DoD Source

I never understood why they sold it with Half-Life 2 packages and it wasn't going to be released until a year later.

I just hope Steam doesn't come to a complete halt like it did when CS:S (beta) came out.

Anyways, I'll be buying it this weekend

But, remember, you're not buying it, you're only renting it. As soon as Valve goes bankrupt (and they all do, eventually), all your stuff will stop working. That's reason enough not to spend money to support a product.

Actually, from past experience, (can't remember specific example), I recall a company that simply made one final change to their software before they shuttered their doors - they enabled the software to no longer require the main servers to function to avoid hosing all those loyal customers that had purchased the software.

Also, vALVE is far from being in financial trouble. They are alive and kicking in their Kirkland office and continue to develop quality products that generate revenue. After all, what other companies have you seen successfully throw off the shackles of an overbearing distribution agreement and still walk away profitable?

Yeah, keep those doomsday comments to yourself unless you have proof to show they are "going under". Troll.
