My take on your comment below Leo, is that the only reason they continue to play valve games is b/c they bought them.. a LOT of people (on http://forums.steampowered.com) have a lot of issues with how valve games run and the bugs in the game.
My take on valve games is the source releases are beta's and should of never been released with all these bugs.
I don't see as many serious issues as other people seem to be complaining about. For the most part people are happy with valve games as far as I can tell. I'm glad that the valve team responds fairly quickly to severe game issues so servers do keep up and running.
