Damnit Valve!

[sub]

Valve has been pissing me off lately.

http://kotaku.com/gaming/valve-does...es/half+life-2-black-box-cancelled-261828.php

They just cancelled the Black box edition of Half-Life 2. What that means is that you're now forced to pay full price for Episode 2, even if you already own Half-Life 2 and Episode 1.

That.....


Wait for it, wait for it...




SUCKS!

Im done.

 

[Arthos]

And people are still going to buy it.

WOW! What a surprise!

 

[frsrblch]

I'll just buy 'em online.

 

[elNarr]

That is a major throwing away fans- thing.

I still think i should buy this, since i don't have episode 1 yet, and then i could sell the Hl2's Code to someone

 

[Skyrider]

Valve does anything for them to gain more money.

Valve does anything for them to gain more money.

Unlike every other company, I'm sure.

 

[Skyrider]

Unlike every other company, I'm sure.

Well, Valve is the worst one as far as I know.

Just give it time, steam will give the option to buy episode 2, or the teamfortress or just portal, if the players don't like the decisions anyways.

I guess you won't be able to do that.
Its most likely one code for the whole pack.

I would've bought the black box edition for TF2 but I'm not gonna buy HL2 again, **** you Valve

Man now I have to spend an extra whole 10 dollars!!!!!1111

I mean are you guys serious? I'm sure you'll be able to buy a package on Steam different than to what they sell at retail...

Well apparently you can still buy the black box through steam, but it's not going to be sold through a brick and mortor store anymore which is still lame.

 

[SaiyanPrideXIX]

Of course not. Valve gets more money through steam purchases.

It's nice to see that folks around here are starting to realize the differences between companies trying to make a profit and companies trying to screwjob us.

 

[Mogwai]

Do i sense microsoft being mentioned anytime soon there pride?

With them we get the best/worst of both worlds =D.

 

[SaiyanPrideXIX]

Yeah but at least when Microsoft charges me for stuff on Live, I don't feel like it's designed from inception to be a MASSIVE ripoff.

 

[frsrblch]

All MS requires is patience for their content to be made free, which usually only takes a couple months.

 

[Ravendust]

This isn't really a big deal. You need Steam to install it anyway, you need internet access to register it. You can just buy it off Steam without leaving the house.

Or if you don't want one of the three (Ep2/TF2/Portal) you can just buy them individually through Steam for less.

 

[Eon]

not surprised.

 

[Barney's_Soul]

Valve wants more money, but just buy from Steam.....its easyer.
