"We" does not equal you and me. "We" equals you and the people you discuss it with that obviously doesn't include me since I'm asking you and it's obvious through my post history that I don't game on my PC and just the other week I mentioned how I don't own the Orange Box so no need to go squinty eyed just because I'm not knowledgable about everything PC's and....(takes a breath)...much better.

ok. now... tell me, is that not a large as heck update? for free.

It looks huge, good for fans and I can't argue with free. I know Microsoft is more used to publishers like Namco that want to nickle and dime you for every little piece of DLC they offer. That mentality is probably what causes incidents like this when a developer wants to offer major content for free. Hopefully they can at least get it down to $5 so it doesn't break banks.

What I don't understand is why Gabe seems so proud of the fact that they released four patches in one day

I would have thought that having a more stable game that doesn't need four fixes in one day would be much better PR for a company.

Of course, I'm assuming Gabe was talking fixes here, not additional content, which I think is awesome.

you realize Valve supports all their games including the ones released 10+ years ago. The patches were probably for all different games at once. There are always ways to improve stability on newer hardware, balance online games, etc.

Oh ok.

I kinda got the impression somehow that he was talking about four fixes in one day for one program.

My bad.

I hope that's true. Four updates in one day on a single game is a bit rediculous. It doesn't help with how vague and proud he's sounding with that comment either.
