What in the world would that do? They can read. They have tons of money to make and are already in the works with contracts and other legal business.
A few thousand cries from people won't do jack shit.

Everyone sign the petition if you don't agree with this: http://www.petitiononline.com/pop4519/petition.html
This is an outrage, we have paid for this game already, Valve have got their money, forcing us to accept the game as a piece of adware is unacceptable. EA at least have an excuse, they have global stats to run and maintain, as well as the fact that EA just generally suck to begin with. Not to mention everyone knew (or at least should have known) that BF2142 was going to have ad's in it. Nobody ever said anything to us about the possibility of ad's being put in counter-strike when we bought it! This would only be acceptable if the game was free, but it isn't. This is a real slap in the face for us server admins who pay for our servers out of our own pocket, Valve have NOTHING to do with the running of our servers we all play on, yet they get money from it? pffft!

Petitions don't work, but boycotts will.
Someone put it perfectly awhile back. Steam puts so much power in the hands of Valve. Valve can make ANY CHANGES THEY WANT to the game and if you want to play it, you HAVE to play it after downloading their patch. You can't play out of date versions anymore. When ads are released, you can't play the previous version that didn't have ads in it.
The only power left to the consumer is to stop playing the game they paid for.
Screw the petition. If and when they put ads in, lets file a class action suit. We did not buy a game with ads. We did not spend our money for a game with ads. If they release ads, sue for your money back.
Imagine if the entire CS 1.6 community, overnight, quit the game and sued Valve for their money back. I think they'd listen to THAT.
My only thought is to give it a chance...but honestly I don't expect them to figure out that the ads need to be 'non-intrusive'. As soon as those intrusive ads come out, I for one am going to sue Valve for the $20 bucks I spent on their game.

good, 1.6 deserves to be trashed. It sucks. Get over it.
Zips wrote..Bullshit there isn't, fuckstick. Only a rabid moron views EULAs as anything of substance. Welcome to the concept of not being able to completely nullify consumer rights simply by creating an unverifiable, one-sided wishlist of presumptuous legalese.
