i'll buy it simply because it's hl2 and it's a game everyone should have in their collection, but i agree that valve has made some pretty bad decisions. just imagine if they had announced it when they actually started developing it.

i agree about ea though, they have some very talented people working for them, but they also have the money and people to shift around if a project is in need of help. but even so, their newer games are solid in every aspect, and normally with less bugs than the average game, so they do deserve some kudos

oh, and welcome to hell
