Well like I have said in my forums.If they blend it into a game where it's not so obtrusive it wouldn't be that bad.Like making the coke machines on office actual coke machines of ballz machines or making the computers actual dell computers ect.But I can see signs put into the game that look akin to billboards advertising game servers.Which would suck considering I sell them cheaply to fund my community or webhosting.Which I also sell cheaply to fund my community.
I wouldn't be quite as pissed off about it,but like said before,they took away the server operators rights to put their own image into the fast downloads bandwidth advertisements only to replace it with their own in the future.Can anyone say..."Wait we can make money from this!" And like some have said in my community,"Well in BF2142 you can block XX ip addy and it will stop the stream of ads to your client." Well judging by how VALVe is they will go off and make it server side and write it into the engine as such that if you block XX ip addy server side it will fail to activate the Non-Update VAC or it won't auth with the STEAM servers.Or something along those lines. And the very main issue that really pisses me off.I have always told my community to the best of my abilities this would be a non-advertised community.Meaning no google adwords.No google ads.No in-game spamming trying to get people to buy stuff ect.And here comes VALVe on the copy cat train.**Choo Choo** I'm sure and postive for VALVe it would be a good move.I don't doubt that a bit.More money = more stuff.But will that stuff be employees and updates, or house boats and cars? -BeNt- /rant http://www.gorillazsouth.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
