Eternal pessimist to the end, cadaveca?

I would like to say I knew they would wait for a "holiday" release so they make more money. I find that appauling.

Why is that so appauling? It's the reason they made the game -- to make money. They need to maximize their profits to make their publisher happy, as well as increase profits for the team. Capitalism works that way. I'm thankful Valve is as good to their fans as they are. They've got a bad track record, but I'm willing to give them the next two releases to 'prove themselves'. Hopefully they break this late-release trend.

Hehehe, maybe Shuzer is the pessimist.

Well it would be nice for them to choose {for the community} or just say {for the f-ing money baby}.

Or say {we make games we wanna play ourselves and get paid to do it}

So the game is released in november (aka Q4 2004, aka the holiday season) and you automatically assume they delayed the game? I guess then you think the game has been completed for a while, right? It's just been sitting on gabe's desk for 2, 3, 6 months? Erik Johnson and all the others who have been interviewed recently have been blatently lying out their asses about the RC's getting sent and re-sent to VU? Give me a break.

People will complain about anything!
