My PC will run even City17 Strider Bench at 60 fps, so I'm pretty pissed, that Vivendi stopped Valve. I wanted to play the game TODAY.

commando: Localisation. That means they do some normal driver/bugfixing (maybe preventing one update patch that would have been out 1 week after release) and localisation. They want a worldwide release. That means even the japanese localisation has to bee finished and checked. In the meantime...
us version is finished but we have to wait? Damn, I'm from Germany, I want the US Version NOW. I don't care for a crappy dubbed censored version. This is all Vivendis fault, they want the store-release not later than the steam release. That's the whole reason. My theorie in that directions seems...
