Point being that if we start letting one guy post dumb spam threads then every person who visits the site suddenly feels the urge to spam a stupid thread and in no time flat the forums are full of threads like
"Gabe is teh fatty, i can look after him! i make him diet!!11!!11"
"will my p2...
If the rumour is true then Valve and Vivendis contract would have an agreement stating that as soon as any Hl2 retail copy was sold the steam versions could be.
People think that vivendi would hate it that steam got to sell before retail... what they forget is that Valve hate it just as much...
If a mod reads this i hope he closes it and warns you for
A. posting a stupid thread.
B. posting a repeat thread.
C. flaming people becuase you dont agree with them
D. spamming a lot of crap.
E. double posting whilst spamming.
F. probably being a tool and trying to insult me once you...
No..
Games get pirated becuase people who do so wouldnt buy the fecking game anyway.
I pirate lots of games, the good ones i buy.
So unless im some sort of super special one of a kind gamer then quite a lot of people do the same.

I laugh...
That guy is a complete Fudd.
He cant be serious, i mean come on....
Wouldnt surprise me though with all the completely spaztic halo fanboys who know their crappy game is gonna get raped by Hl2 running around the place.
Quite a lot actualy.
My work for instance buys a coppy for every office IIRC (british petroleum)
Every goverment or official political office has to buy them for every office.
Every semi serious buisness that is international.
You dont get very many skint photoshop devs.
*sarcasm*
Or it might just be that every time you vote some other person somewhere in the world has voted for Halo 2..
*sarcasm*
I voted about 45 times for hl2 and halo got about 20 votes in that period and Hl2 got roughly 100
Or you could just not spam the boards with silly polls.
The number of
"omgz i will have teh game in X hooors" threads will be plenty of indication as to the hype level.
plus the regular tone of folks posts.
Its likely to be Aussie time.
Valve stated steam would be unlocked as soon as its available in stores.
Since Auss will get to the 16th first and its stores will opwn first then steam should go live with Hl2 at the same time.
meaning sometime during the night of the 15th in the west.
The people bitching do realise that
A. CD's manuals etc.. are not produced nor paid for by valve in any way.
B. They have to take on the burden of hosting steam and the massive amount of space it needs.
C. A Proffesional gaming company sure as hell knows more about marketing their own...
Red the following as to what happened from Hl1 to Hl2 at your own risk.
It was in that Prima firt look thingy, took 1/2 an hour to read cos it was all garbled and crap quality.
Then you are wrong.
I can name over 40 games i/my friends/family have played all up to 2 months before a games release.
Hell i was even playing Hl2 13 months ago... (sarcasm)
Why does anybody care anymore?
The leak was crap, it had nothing worth playing in it, other than fannying around with the physics.
its not like your some uber net rebel if youve played it, your just a person who has the most basic net skills and knows a warez site.
Would the people moaning please stop...
we realise that not every guy with 10 posts who claims he has a release date or has played the game is a tit.
but the vast majority ie.. 99% are.
