The delayed release is indeed grim news for us european server owners.
But my main concern is that Valve release an update again late on a
Friday (their time) and then scuttle off for the weekend leaving us with
the carnage, stress and drama of the bugs and crashes that we all
experienced during the MVM update.
I honestly hoped that at the very least Valve had learnt their lesson
that dreaded weekend, but now I think about it, it was us, the server
operators, that suffered all weekend, not them, so why would they even
consider it.
I don't like to be negative, I really don't, but this rubs salt in a
still very sore wound to be honest.

Yeah, I know "damn" indeed about the "few hours" comment.......this
was our four year anniversary (events planned) and we may have to
cancel/reschedule, since it's going to be so late of a release (ON A
FRIDAY NONETHELESS), and the sourcemod folks won't have a working
version until after the release and if things are borked, we're gonna
have to wait how long on a weekend for a "fix"?!?!
This is really a kick in the balls.......*sigh*
Ah well, all those people who are gonna say it: "At least valve is
still updating the game" or "You should just play vanilla anyways" or
insert any other non-helpful comments here. (Hey, if I can vent, you
can vent about my venting right? *grin*)
