Order it? Play It?

[The Caldo]

Ok just a random thought I had...The games being realeased to order tonight right, but does that mean we can play it tonight? hmm Vivendi could be cruel with this....anyone know if its a definate to play this game tonight?

 

[Mr-Fusion]

No. That would be a massive breach of contract if Valve made it playable today.

 

[SLH]

CS:S Will be playable (it can't have been covered in the VU - Valve contract).

HL2 will NOT.

F-Y Vivendi :flame: :flame: :x :hmph: :hmph: :sniper: Ahhhh

What he said ^

 

[Slainchild]

Wouldn't it be nice if Valve pressed the wrong button, and released HL2 instead of CS:S

 

[The Caldo]

Why didnt they make this clearer in the news!? re-reading it, it does point it out, but just because of small printed asterix...apparently am not the only one who didnt read carefully

1+ million copies will be sold through steam this week. Imagine the loss for vivendi, thats over 10 million $

 

[The Caldo]

Losing 10 million in a game that will sell as much as it's gonna isnt a huge deal, Vivendi are loving the publicity etc there getting

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Vivendi only have themselves to blame for sitting on the RC for so long.

And where exactly did you get that number? I doubt it will top 500,000, and that's stretching it.

 

[Edcrab]

If Valve or other developers start using Steam for non-Vivendi leeched property, we can get used to instant releases

Otherwise, we can just go back to our monopolisitc conglomerate bashing.

...DAMN YOU MICROS- I MEAN VIVENDI!

Yeah, and locking it again after 10 minutes when they discover the mistake. No thank you.

 

[Crash Happy]

I'd yank my cable out, lets see them lock it again.

What do you mean you're not the only one who didn't read it carefully? I think you were the only one who was left out. We've all known for some time that CS:S would be released first, and HL2 weeks or months later.

I know that's gotta be disappointing for you, so I don't mean to be harsh, but a lot of us are looking forward to CS:S and just plain being done with the HL2 purchase. CS:S is really, really great by the way, you should order over Steam today and play it, you won't be sorry.
