Well done Valve
Not happy with screwing up Source anymore they decide to once again return to where the majority of gamers are and give us a big fat Advert on our TAB screen.
These cowboys will be probably charging monthly fees next.


:mad:

I agree.

It is indeed lame though. You can kind of accept adverts in games if the end result is cheaper games but this simply isn't the case.
 
It's our own fault for not playing CS:S and not buying enough copies of Condition Zero, CS:S, or DOD:S. If we'd just been nice little children and let Valve milk the franchise(s) for everything it was worth, we wouldn't be in this state now would we?

Now they've got a server-reliant content delivery software application to feed, and electricity bills to pay. Who's going to fund that? The profits from HL2? The ingeniously confusing and constantly changing HL packages? The percentages they make from getting us to buy Painkiller, Dreamfall or Jade Empire? Hah! There's a million-player game out there that people can play for next to nothing! How unfair is that??
 
What a right pain in the arse. Every time i look to see whether the opposing team's grabbed the bomb, who's left alive, or whatever, the bloody scoreboard's wider, and just blocks everything. CS just died a little for me.

I'm quite sure that they aren't allowed to do this, any lawyers want to take the case?

You numpty, you give them the right to bend you over backwards an lube you up in their TOC. Ofcourse they can. :(
 
Its not only the tab screen. de_dust2 has adverts running on the map. CT spawn and wall outside of B site both have "bill boards".

Still adds can't run on custom maps so all it would take is someone to change the name to "de_dust2_pro" or something to that effect, slap it on a server and you have de_dust2 with no adverts.

Honestly they don't bother me too much. With or without adds its still got the same old great game play so no reason for everyone to suddenly jump ship or anything like that.

Its all good :D
 
Perfectly understandable that they've done this in my opinion - so what if they're trying to get some money from a game they don't actually make money from anymore? And adverts in games are hardly that bad - UK2's servers always used to have custom adverts in them, yet they were probably the most popular servers I had ever been on!

Honestly… You people must be out-raged when you drive past a bilboard or see an advert in a bus! I mean, it's not as if your bus ticket is any cheaper is it?! RAWR! LET'S ALL BE ANGRY!!!
