I would still buy it and I would pay more than that if I couldn't get it any cheaper. I've bought console games for $90 that I've only played for a couple of hours or less before realizing they sucked. Half-Life 1 (including mods like Counter-Strike) has probably only cost me a couple of cents...
I think I'll make a mod where you can trip people and then I'll change everybody's weight to like 1000 pounds so they hurt themselves real bad when I trip them and they fall. :)
I don't believe for a second that it was a bug. Everything indicates they've known about the delay for a long time and bugs that they haven't spotted for five years don't take three months to fix. They must be very, very minor.
I am extremely disappointed in Valve. I can't believe they did...
