gambone, if you said "we'll see" to someone asking you a question, what would you mean?
It's easy.
Now spit, even though you might not have gotten alot of new info, it must've been great for you to meet gabe and the rest..
Further, it was a very good read, and the pictures were good.
So...
The orange one would be cooler if the case was black. the rest the same, except the ati and p4 logos, which should be smaller.
also, i would put some spiked rubber bands around the edges, to make it look kind of.. rugged.
That email sounded a little fishy though, Gabe doesn't even know proper grammar? "your in buddy"?
Either way, I hope he reads this and gets an appointment, if he just shows up I suspect he will just get a 'no'. :/
Yeah, I don't even have the computer to run it yet.. But if I get it before the 30th, I will also get my hopes up alot more than I do now.
Right now, it's more "ok whatever, then I have time to upgrade"
Sure. But how much has valve actually said to the community about the release date, and how it's distributed?
Has he actually said "the boxed version will be out the 30th, if all goes after plan".
Maybe he just aimed for a steam release, and vivendi could do whatever they wanted.
Not...
All I'm saying is, valve controls steam, and vivendi controls the packaged boxes.
I'm almost completely sure it's gonna be out via steam on the 30th, and if it's delayed, the boxed version is. So it'll be here either way.
I don't think you have to pay if you buy the sp/mp package, ever, or for anything extra online after that.
I can copy paste the email i sent to him about it:
No, you won't have to pay if you buy the retail packaged product.
You can either go to a store and buy the game (say $50)
OR...
I just hope sep 30th is not the gold date, and then it takes 3 weeks approx to get it out.
maybe gabe meant release date as in when it leaves valve to get pressed.
but fear not, this is just speculation.
