How to fight back with Valve!!!: a legal know how

[iv81]

Much expectations were laid on BS sep 30 release. Many of us had lost precious time and money on now old hardware. This is how we fight back my friends..

As soon as the game hits the store shelves, simply delay your interest in buying it until the stock value for Valve shares begins to topple down and stay average. During the fall, Valve will face much loss in revenue due to failed expected sales.

Remember, this will only work if YOU volunteer in it. As more people use this tactic the more effective it will be! I will do my part.

You, my friend, are an idiot.

What year is the game actually due?

 

[-JeZ-]

ib81, that's probubly one of the most idiotic propositions I've ever heared. You'll be on your own in this I expect.

Why fight back? It is a GODDAMN COMPUTER GAME! As nw909 said(I think): "You make it sound like Valve is your abusive father or something."

Hah, funny thread

 

[Onions]

You realise valve will make a killing even if this entire community refuses to buy the game anyway?

 

[ray_MAN]

Just close this thread. Please.

 

[Gertrum]

You do also realise that Valve are a privately held company, so have no shares to decrease in value?

Do you also realise that Valve owe you absolutely nothing, like any developer who may miss deadlines?

Begone, fool.

"Lost precious time and money"...how did Valve make you do that? Did they come to your home and force you to buy hardware? I don't remember Valve ever saying, "You MUST run to the store right NOW and buy expensive hardware or else you shall all burn in the firey pits of Hell!"

I am at a loss at how people can be so incredibly upset over a computer game being late. My life is lacking a lot and I have many things I need to work on, but if I am ever that obsessed over a computer game, please someone shoot me.

* points and laughs *

Sure, go boycot the game, while we're playing it. Have fun dumbass.
Valve has no shareholders, except it's employees. And besides, they don't owe you anything.

* Get's a deja-vu *

I'm annoyed with Valve's deceptive marketing tactics, but I don't see what good it would do to try and bankrupt them.

It will show them that next time they decide on releasing a game they better keep their promises! :frown:

*locked*

iv81, think before you post.

Um....Valve aren't a publicly traded company. There are no shares.

Also, as onions points out, the online community is a very small percentage of the overall sales. Nice try, but definitely no cigar.

But was it really a nice try? :|
