Ads Now In CS1.6

"Perhaps"

[meowmeow]

God I fucking hate EA and their retarded ideas, Valve is like the good kid who got sucked in by the bad and is now smoking pot behind the school building.

I mean to be nonconstructive.



BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You know it's funny, these ads are probably doing just what valve intended. I didn't really play 1.6 much anymore anyway, and this just makes sure I'll never play it again, which is what they want. Piss enough people off to move to Source. Once they come to Source, I'll quit playing that. But they don't care, they already have my money.



And the sad part is all the lackey's who keep playing. There should have been an international boycott the day these rolled out. Get everyone to not log in to Steam at all playing any game until they're removed. But there's about as much chance of that happening as me getting to nail Jessica Alba.

Basically, and it's working like a charm.

Whats your opinion on this? As a gamer, i find this incredibly ridiculous, and unacceptable. Why does Valve feel the need to just keep destroying the faith of the already shaky support that players have. First they release steam, and it sucks. It _still_ sucks. It's still a buggy POS. Then instead of fixing their already released software, they instead go and do this.



How does this help the relationship between players and companies?

How much more garbage do we, the PAYING CUSTOMERS, the ones who should have all the power, take from idiotic, money-grabbing companies?



I dont know, but until we actually do something about it, my guess is that the trend is going to continute, crap like DWP and ads and all the other pointless, needless "updates" are going to continue.

Meh, I guess I'll just finish out the CAL season and call it quits if there aren't any fixes released. Of course CAL won't support the fixes while CEVO will, because CAL is CAL.

I'll hold it to you.

Eww, those ads don't blend in at all. Maybe it would look more natural if the sharpness was equal to the textures around it. Take a look at the GameHelper banners.

As a 56ker, <FUCKING MAULED BY BEARS>....... nevermind.



Yeah the rare times I still play CS, its at a LAN party late at night after most of the ecocking clan losers have lost and went home (thanks for staying and keeping the LAN party jumpin', dickheads; turns out theres more than CS to play) and all that's left is people who wanna remember when CS was fun and we get together and play jeepathon, leetskeets, <insert 20 other nipper maps>, and all that good shit (which lack the Valve ads) so bring the damn ads!



If CS is supposed to be some sorta sport, then its only natural as sports have become to play your rounds of CS on Alltel de_aztec and Bank of America de_dust2 during the All-American Cheeseburger Challenge presented by McDonalds event. Deal with it.



I amuse myself.

By "true" ads, I mean those that are for products that are not created by Valve. Hopefully, they will not look like such a sore thumb on the map walls. Of course, this is all just speculation on my part. The non-Valve ads could also end up being just as "stamped on" as the current ones are.

It wouldn't surprise me if Valve is having a hard time getting anyone to buy screen time with these ads. And if they do, I doubt they'll be like "Okay, give us $5,000 to have your ad in CS for a month, oh and by the way make it unobtrusive." Of course not.



A game like 2142 which has ads in it when you buy it is bad enough. I haven't seen those so I don't know how bad they are. But adding them into a game that's been owned by so many people for so long a time and is still consistently played is probably one of the worst business moves I know.



Their karma is dropping like a rock. How they expect to make any money with the kind of karma they're getting from this is beyond me.

Wow, I was hoping they'd do an intellegent job with these ads, making them look like they *fit in*. But instead, they've been out done by EA of all people. (I find the BF2142 ads WAY better) Shame on you Valve, I was really wishing you'd do this properly.

Of course, this does mean CS1.6 will have had a significant game-specific update more recently than CS:S and DoD:S
