Great news. I figured this would go on for eternity considering how bad our legal system is.

Its only one of the three charges is it not?

[Premo_Maggot]

can i get a deeper explanation in english



sorry :[

[HitmanCodename48]

pwned.



although, it is bullshit for valve to sell stuff without a publisher after signing a contract w/ vivendi.



then again, the contract probably said they'd seek no other publisher. since steam is technically a lack of publishing, they can get away with it.

^^ what he said.



i have never and to this day do not...understand what happened and whatnot.



either way, i think it is improper for valve to go "Valve Wins Summary Judgment Motions in Copyright Infringement Case" to me that is bragging.



: /



anyway, im ever hopeful of what the "suprise for the community" is this week. :)
