I don't think the true point of contention here is whether or not Valve should or shouldn't test 3rd party apps. It's when Valve makes a statement like this and it turns out to be incorrect...
"- Cstrike FL_FAKECLIENT fix (3rd-party bots should work fine in cstrike once more)" I guess the key word there is 'should', not 'do'. Therefore the statement should be taken at face value -- that Valve has made a best effort, and things 'should' work. If they don't, they don't. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Deadman Standing Sent: 02/13/04 10:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] STEAM Update and messing up bots (Again) AAAHHH, Isn't the testing the responsibility of the bot maker? Isn't maintenance the responsibility of the bot maker? Why the heck would Valve waist money and time testing software they don't develop. The last thing I would ever want is valve to hold off a release because they have to test third party modules. Let them develop the best solution for the problem. If it breaks a third party module let the creator(s) of the module develop their best solution to make it work with the latest release. Do you really think Valve should test third party modules or is this a joke? - _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
