Sorry rze, I was going off the Amazon.com pronouncement. If they don't get that from valve, do they make it up?

*Sigh*
Who the hell cares? You'd have to be a REAL fanboy to let this type of news get to you so much. Why the anticipation? Why do you WANT this game so much?
Gawd.... Fanboys...

Agreed. The official icon looks like crap, and so does the Half-Life 2 icon.

I guess supporting valve is against all emotional odds, therefore it is considered flaming to support valve? Am I getting this right?
In either case, Valve supports us, so I see no reason for us not to support them. It would not be a pleasant world if someone jumped on anothers throat each time they miscalculated something/made a mistake in writing.
Imagine, you tell your friends, which you have had for 7 years, a few incorrect pieces of information. Once they discover you told them inadvertant, incorrect points, they jump on your throat calling you a liar and an untrustworthy person, abandoning you and making alliances against you.
In this case, its a Beta test. Everyone is bashing valve about creating a "false" release date for a Pre Load on Steam, when the date was not even official, as I previously stated. Why turn on a friend that has been by your side for 7 years, supporting you through a game that is based on an engine which is extremely outdated?
Why doesn't everyone just back off for a second, and think about how many beta tests have been delayed without informing the community immediately and then get back to me.

MY GOD. I seriously bought that lousy-ass CZ so i could be the first to play CSS and now... oh my god i'm so sick of valve's bs. seriously, aren't people at these companies reprimanded for not working hard enough to meet deadlines?
Don't act like valve has really done anything for us either. all these mods were made by the community and then leeched by valve. I bought CZ last freaking week to play CSS beta. I hate this so much.

That release date was never official, it was only an estimate on when it would be completed and, just in case you weren't sure of it, they did get hacked.
Also, I don't know your basis for the half ass programming, I doubt you've seen the coding involved in creating steam, and I don't see how releasing multiple patches is a negative thing.You are right about me not seeing the code for steam, but how does a company that codes leading edge 3D graphis/physics/AI not put together a simple "shell" program and instant messageing program?
