    Gabe luvs his public

    HL/2 pre-load will begin tomorrow. It was ready yesterday, but we decided to use the bandwidth to get out the VST first since I get pelted with zillions of questions from people asking how their PC will run Half-Life 2.


    How arrogant, pls. put the game out already & stfu.

    If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen, Gabe.

    I never really wanted him to speak (he obviously does not like dealing with the public) what i would like is for their team to finish their product so i may enjoy the single player aspect of it.
    wont enjoy MP since i havent loaded & wont load steam on my system & i hope other developers dont create their own steam programs for their games cause i dont like this type of program. Sorry for going off on a wild tangent but whenever i think of gabe i think of the ultamatum If you dont download our program (Steam) you can not play MP. I dont mind sharing on P2P with my consent,I just think steam sets a bad precedent for gaming in general.


    To Sum up Pls. release the game already.

    The words that Gabe speaks matter not to the gaming public, for John Carmack is the one true god. Gabe comes in a distant second as Beelzebub.

    Speaking of distributed distribution, didn't Valve hire Bram Cohen a while ago?

    Well at least Carmack refrains from being arrogant altogether, or referring to gamers as "his b*tches", like his former co-worker. At least he's a guy I can respect.
