This is at the start of every single Valve developer commentary.
Welcome to Team Fortress 2. After nine years in development, hopefully it would have been worth the wait.
It's not like you will get a proper response. Likely 2 or 3 words.

at least he will get a response, other companies just reply with an automated message or none at all

Not entirly true. I emailed Gabe bout a month ago. Still no reply, but im in no rush for one. He'll get to it when he's got time.
You are right about most other companies though.

No more comedy failure.
Isn't there a 'not funny' rating ?
In Portal 2 commentary he should say "Email me at GABE-N NOT GAY BEN at valvesoftware.com thanks jackasses!"

See if it's a real address.
[QUOTE=Cheesedragon;20975379]why?[/QUOTE]
Because Gabe always says that and it's not as funny to some people as it is to me apparently.

I asked for a quote about valve's marketing strategy pertaining to the release of portal 2 for my sisters' dissitation, and got this:
[quote]“In general we are going through a transition from entertainment as product to service. We are going through a transition from customers who are very far from creators to very close. The important question isn’t “How do I get the most people to show up at the store/theatre the day we launch” it is now “What have I done for my customers today?” Your customers aren’t passive recipients but active participants.
Social media is one tool that allows content creators and content consumers to be closer, and blurs the line between creator and consumer. When we started Valve in 1996, it would take up to 6 months to get a print ad to appear in a gaming magazine with a circulation of 250,000. In 2010, I can reach millions of gamers in minutes. And those gamers, rather than throw a magazine in the trash, tell their friends, react, annotate, embellish, mash up, parody, Tweet, and generally amplify that connection enormously.
In recognition of that collaborative connection, we asked ourselves how we could announce Portal 2 in such a way that gaming community was as much an author of the experience as we were. This led to the creation of an elaborate fiction that was kicked off by an update to a three year old game. It grew to the point that several million people viewed a single thread on a single forum as just the tip of the iceberg of a real-time piece of Internet performance art.”

Portal 2: "Welcome to, <Second game name, here>." (look at Portal's commentary)
Oh yes, I can tell the future!
