| TBH, i think valve just wants some money, look at it like this. CS has been around for years... its the largest multiplayer game ever and has more then 80,000 players at anygiven time. CS isnt free, to this day Half Life sits in retail store shelves for one reason, the MODS. Valve and sierra have a deal worked out for a percentage... Not one game as old as HL is still sitting in retail stores worldwide. Its kinda obovious that its all about the money, Steam is a nice piece of software, but like alot of people said it wont work out. Think about this, say you buy alot of content off of steam, then one day, they go out of business and shut it down... you lose everything you bought. And for those of you saying apps like steam are the wave of the future.. i pitty you, I would rather go to the store and buy a piece of software with the disk in my hand, then to use a credit card over the net, to buy software from a company that charges kids to play a 4 year old video game... its sad and pathetic, if valve does this it will be the end of CS and HL |
