Ricochet:Source LOL! Dear God no! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of OConnor John Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 5:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlds] When will the "nosteam" hacks be fixed?
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of K. Mike Bradley If you server admins really wanted to do something stop your servers for one day ... Lets say this Friday. See what Valve does then. That is a *really* interesting notion. Given that Valve is effectively in a loose partnership with server admins, commercial and otherwise, all around the world. A co-dependence where server admins rely on Valve to provide an attractive, stable gaming environment, and server admins provide hardware and bandwidth to make Valve's online products worthwhile. The alternative of Valve/Sierra/Vivendi establishing a commercial gaming network is presumably not as economically attractive. (I wonder how the accountants feel about relying on such informal external support as part of their business model?) But anyway - Valve aren't stupid. They are not ignorant of the issues. One just hopes that their efforts are concentrated on the issues we percieve as important - and not on producing Ricochet:Source.
