[QUOTE=thrawn2787;29242999] I'm still confused as to what Gabe / Valve really expected us to do for this whole fucking thing.[/QUOTE] Buy and play games, so they and the indie developers make money. And honestly, I don't see the problem with it: If enough people play the games, Portal 2 is released early, if not, Portal 2 is released on time. I mean, that's the thing about Valve. They make money without being assdicks to the customers.
[QUOTE=GetBent;29243102]I'm not saying for you to buy it. I'm saying that's what Valve was trying to get everyone to do.[/QUOTE] Right which is fucking retarded. They only had their own week before hand of sales. But that wasn't good enough was it? Instead they wanted thousands of more people to get it, all so that what those people really wanted could be released 3 hours early? I've officially decided I no longer like any game developer. There are still games I like, but now, quite literally, every developer sucks.

[QUOTE=GetBent;29243102]I'm not saying for you to buy it.

[QUOTE=SumAsianGuy;29242837]face it guys, by the time all the potato sack games are at 100%, it will already be the 19th.[/QUOTE] the 19th of october
[QUOTE=MonPandamari;29243177]Its business, get over it faggot.[/QUOTE] Yes but there's an extent to where the company really stops caring about you and starts just caring about the money, and at that point the company has gone to shit, even if it was the greatest thing since sliced bread before hand. Companies obviously need / want to care about money, but they shouldn't stick it to their customers to squeeze some extra profits

VALVE IS MONEY HUNGRY

Gonna play some STALKER while my cellphone is in front of me displaying glados@home
[QUOTE=Takkun10;29243221]Do you realize your crying over a video game not releasing earlier than scheduled.[/QUOTE] Yes I'm sitting here literally crying. Yes, that's how it's working right now. Definitely.

You should be happy that we've got the chance for it.

They never promised to release Portal 2 early, so everyone is being mad about fucking nothing. Man this is starting to piss me off, people acting like spoiled kids.

[QUOTE=TheWhiteFox1;29243270]They're giving us the opportunity for the game to be released earlier, but you still bitch about it. You should be happy that we've got the chance for it.[/QUOTE] The way they did it is stupid. People spent a lot of time playing the games during the whole ARG thing. And now the most we can take off is a few hours?
[QUOTE=Chrille;29243283]And what's the fucking problem in that? They never promised to release Portal 2 early, so everyone is being mad about fucking nothing. Man this is starting to piss me off, people acting like spoiled kids.[/QUOTE] No they just should not have done this at all, and just waited until the 19th.
I have herpes. I want to give them to Portal 2.
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;29243323]No they just should not have done this at all, and just waited until the 19th.[/QUOTE] So just ignore the whole thing, wait until the 19th, enjoy the game. It doesn't seem like you care, so it shouldn't affect you.
Maybe at 400k? Keeping optimism in the thread
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;29243323]No they just should not have done this at all, and just waited until the 19th.[/QUOTE] I agree with this man, I've run out of hype after all this.
[QUOTE=GetBent;29243310]The way they did it is stupid. People spent a lot of time playing the games during the whole ARG thing. And now the most we can take off is a[B] few hours[/B]?[/QUOTE] I dunno if you noticed, but by the looks of it, it'll probably get released really late today.
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;29243323]No they just should not have done this at all, and just waited until the 19th.[/QUOTE] Yeah, right, for no fucking reason whatsoever. People bought games, people played games, Portal 2 is getting released early. I'm having a really hard time seeing the problem here.
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;29243323]No they just should not have done this at all, and just waited until the 19th.[/QUOTE] Best case scenario: we get portal 2 tomorrow. Worst case scenario: we get portal 2 the next day. I don't see what the problem is. We're getting a chance to get it early, but even if we don't the game still comes the next day.
Do like me, just enjoy that you're at least getting it a few hours early. Not gonna hurt anyone.

[QUOTE=Zuimzado;29243378]I dunno if you noticed, but by the looks of it, it'll probably get released really late today.[/QUOTE] No bloody way it'll be released today. I reckon tomorrow afternoon, earliest. (GMT+0)
