if you read the Above story Doug Lombardi says At no time did Valve grant permission nor discuss these advertisements with Engage. As such, this is now a legal matter. Advertising or any other commercial use of our games requires our written permission. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Napier, Kevin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 5:17 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] In-game ad's Agree with that Big Time! I call bullshit as to "they should stop it", if the server op can make a few bucks by adverting in the game so the hell what. Frankly I think valve's just pissed they were so stupid as to not implement such support for this directly into game.. it could have been a massive revenue generator for them had they implmented a coordinated advert system that they largely could control and or partner with serverops on. That said, if it truely is against the EULA well then so be it, they can attempt to stop it all they want..but we know thats not really the anwser, but the spirt is fux'd in my opinion by the attempting to stop it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Scott Tuttle Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 4:40 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] In-game ad's Why shouldn't operators be able to make money on their servers?
