Hater. Dem 'taters is tastey.
I think this thing is all a waste of time really, were going to save a few hour on launch, hardly a day early. It's just valve being the masters of milking every last penny out of a deal.
I'm going to be asleep during those saved hours anyway
Taters' gonna tate.
Oh man, that was classic.

It's not like you're being forced to buy the games.

I just want to play Portal 2, release it already, there's no point in waiting.
Atlas looks so sad :v:
Someone needs to insert "Cave Johnson here with an important message." then the rest of the clip.

The pack is 33EUR, so I presume makes it like $38. 2. You pay for the games to play them, not to influence Poral 2 release. The pack was released long before anybody knew it will be useable to speed up the Portal 2 release. 3. You can help speeding up the release process on the games on the list you already have/buy outside of the pack. 4. I prefer this campaign over 123623413513 variations of fake cinematic trailers and bribing critics left and right.
I don't think its a bad thing but I'm saying they are gaining so many sales off this, and it was a bit of an anti climax seeing we would only ever get a maximum of 10 hours off launch date.
It's stupid, so if I understand; you have to pay a fucking 30 € pack game to get fast the release of Portal 2?
You guys are too focused on Portal 2 you aren't looking at the big picture they are giving you a discount on a shitload of games
[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;29274647]I just want to play Portal 2, release it already, there's no point in waiting.[/QUOTE] Yes there is a point in waiting for it. The more time waiting means more people buying The Potato Sack, so more money for Valve!
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;29282598]You guys are too focused on Portal 2 you aren't looking at the big picture they are giving you a discount on a shitload of games[/QUOTE] Seriously. You're getting like, thirteen games for around $38. I'd say that's a pretty nice deal.
