Valve is a company no different to any other. Have you not seen the publicity they get with the updates? Its on every site, in every gaming magazine. All companies know that good publicity = priceless. If they'd run valve like some of you imagine they do then there would be no tf2 cause they'd file for bankruptcy a looong time ago. Free updates ftw... Thinking they dont get the man hours put in them (and then some) back is just one big fail :) Well, atleast they're not EA=P]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=5094&post=87991 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:53:33 +0200 Reply by Spankstarr https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-5094/page-4/?recent=87991#post=87981 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=5094&post=87981 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:29:22 +0200 Reply by Spaceboy McGhee https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-5094/page-4/?recent=87991#post=87229 Hey i killed your sister but i did it for free so you should be thankful Well at least you're providing a service, fair play to you! :>]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=5094&post=87229 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 23:49:00 +0200 Reply by str8outtaCompton https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-5094/page-4/?recent=87991#post=87205 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=5094&post=87205 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 22:11:30 +0200 Reply by EXM https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-5094/page-4/?recent=87991#post=87204 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=5094&post=87204 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 22:08:55 +0200 Reply by kolox https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-5094/page-4/?recent=87991#post=87188 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=5094&post=87188 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:42:36 +0200 Reply by RaCio https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-5094/page-4/?recent=87991#post=87184
You're wrong, they do update the game for the people. And because they are doing that they gain happy customers, of which they profit in the end.
That's what I'm saying... T_T Then "we’re lucky becouse we get free updates so stop whining” is a good argument right? Valve is giving us a free service]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=5094&post=87184 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:28:36 +0200 Reply by EXM https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-5094/page-4/?recent=87991#post=87183 You're wrong, they do update the game for the people.

I just want to say, that they dont update the game JUST for the people- valve gets more than enough from those updates too.

(Seems to be your general mood towards the updates) I didnt say it is negative in ANY way. Thats a huge possitive, but I want to stop people with those silly (imo) "consider yourself lucky blah blah blah" arguments. And the only time I was negative towards an update was the one that broke rj. Thats only becouse I main solly, and with no ability to jump... well lets just say they fucked my favarite class for few days ;)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=5094&post=87134 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 18:27:34 +0200 Reply by xtala https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-5094/page-4/?recent=87991#post=87129 Sure, they dont get _DIRECT_ income. But everytime and update is released, more people buy it, people buy the game after having to wait a month for non-steam server updates and probably the most important thing: that is THE best advertising you could get (imo). If they update their games, people will buy other games made by valve, becouse they can be sure it WILL get updated (I heard that L4D will get updates, so lets not talk about it). Also, by keeping players playing TF2, they make Steam more popular as a product (shop), so more companies want to get their games and adds on steam which also get them profit (idk, just guessing...) Yes, so why would that be negative?

Not becouse valve loves or that we're lucky. It's all about profit. @HTE No. Those TOTALY free mmorpgers and even fps'. Those that you dont even need to buy (though they have nasty case of "Item shops"...). The difference you are missing is that valve does not gain any direct money by adding content for us since we already paid for the game when we bought it. That in sharp contrast to mmorpg's where money can be made from those players by means of subscription fee's or mini-transactions(item shops). One of the reasons valve is releasing update's is to provide a service that people appreciate. If people like the services they will be more likely to buy games from valve and use valve's products like steam. Piracy is also reduced if people know a game will be supported with updates.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=5094&post=87082 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 16:46:58 +0200
