not only do they want a slice, they want whatever's in the fuckin oven too (HL3)

And if Vivendi is smart, they will realize 1) forcing a delay of HL2 will hurt them, b) it will be a long time before Valve makes any kind of decent profit off of Steam, and iii) Steam is the beginning of their demise, better to play along now to take some profit, because they will be pushed out of the Games publishing business as soon as Steam is completely viable and profitable.



Valve may be late with a game, but they are more on your side of this than VUG. VUG is evil.

Let me get this straight Valve sues Vivendi 1.5 years ago. Last year ATI releases video cards with HL2 coupons (not that anyone really bought them for just that reason). Now the Va and Vi are arguing again. Meanwhile we all are patiently waiting for HL2. ATI is lucky they did not print a release date for HL2 on their coupons or there would probably be a class action lawsuit against ATI. They (ATI) would in turn sue Valve, who would inturn sue Vivendi again cause ATI was suing them. IMHO Doom3 blows! Far Cry is a joke. UT 2004 is also a joke. The moral of all this! probably not one.

ATI video Card = $129.98

Addition 512MB DDR = $65.00

This whole crap over HL2 = Priceless! $0.00



LOL

Amazing how the world works eh?

So are u implying that HalfLife 2 is going to be sooo good, that it will be better than any game that has been created and any game that will be created until half life 3 comes out?



Because if what u just said is true, then sure as hell hl2 is going to have to be that good.

[int3rnil]

I didn't say Half Life 2, I said something. That means anything good. I was just throwing out a quote :P damn sorry I said anything.

[nix]

[plastic_Fish]

Remember that Valve has a history of delaying. It's gonna get delayed...

so youre saying you want hl3 to have mob bosses and hookers?

[DeSpiSe Me]

This is fucking great. I mean, I don't care about HL2 release anymore. It comes out when it comes out, BUT if VALVe gets this counter sue shit out of the way, they can freelance or something. I'm sure with the money the're going to make off of HL2 they can become some sort of publisher for its self. That would mean any VALVe products come out faster (eg. HL3, TFC2, CS2, OpF2, BS2, or any new titles).



Or



I'm horribly wrong and I'm going to get flammed.



Either way, screw HL2's release date, screw VU, and I <3 CSN!



VU Hippies!

Hey, I got a concept. remember when Gabe N. had his password to something... I bet they'll figure someway or someone will figure a way to hacked or in terms of the lawsuit, beat Valve. I think they have hit rock bottom or are pretty close to it and are trying to make the trek back up to the top. All V. I don't think will come anytime soon If they can't get some HL2, what makes anyone think they will come with V.2's of anything else

[illegit]

Just get the freakin' game out, already.

ty, but seriously folks. The world has passed Valve bye on this one! Sorry Valve you've screwed the pooch on this one. GLHF. I'm gonna play some CS.

HL2 delayed is all this means to me... they are just arguing some costs here and there... in three days HL2 will come out... i know it
