Will You Be Pr-Ordering HL2 From Steam To Get CS: Source Early?

[IchI]

Hmmmm, some people seem to be blind these days. I can pritty much say CS: Source will not come with the mapping tools. But actually look what Valve are doing, think about all the people who want to play CS: Source (The Full Game)? If you knew you could buy it online and get it 1/4 weeks early you definatly would. Vivendi will continue to lose sales (DRASTIC SALES!) until they decide to release the boxed version. Its very cleaver by Valve and it obviasly will not be liked by Vivendi at all, think about how much money they will lose out because of steam, especially when Valve pull such a stunt to pull is massive steam sales.

As you can see thats my speculation. It seems pritty dam obviase that its already happening. Vinendi may have already **** them self and decided to get HL2 out asap, or they may kill Valve and fight back by waiting the whole 6 months. Its an argument going on between two major corporations and they seem to what to do anything they can to gain the advantage.

This brings me back to my question. Will You Be Pr-Ordering HL2 From Steam To Get CS: Source Early?

NOTE: Steam sales will kill Vinendi's profit by a lot. Normally publishers take over 50/70% of the profit made on a game. If you buy from Steam Valve make about $40/£25 out of the $50/£30

I was going to put it in hl2 discussion, but then its also about CS; Source. So I just thought in the middle and it just happened to be general gaming.

i dont know exactly what i want to do.

i dont really like the idea of buying it from steam i rather have a REAL cd it just feels safer u know :imu:

but i really want cs:s :O i want cs:s more then halflife 2 :cheese:

i think ill wait a little longer to see how things work out. if they gonna release hl2 6 months later im gonna get it from steam but if its only 2 weeks or a month im gonna wait i think, i got enough games atm anyway still to finish

and if cs:s is still as buggy as the beta ill wait to because hitboxes lagging behind the player models is just unacceptable and screws the game up....... ive gotten sick of buggy, laggy online games :/

i hope hl2 isnt delayed for 6 months but it may be, because why would they release cs:s only first? :rolling:

I'm getting retail. In my opinion, it's ridiculous that I can't get CS:S just at the same time just because I want the box version.

Same here, but I guess that's the incentive to go with Steam

I supose it would feel dodge not having the box. But I trust steam and my CS:CZ (Purchased from steam) has worked fine with no problems. I'm going to pre-order hl2 from steam because I can play CS: Source for one, also. Litrally the exact second HL2 is released I can play it.
