Sure, they dont get _DIRECT_ income. But everytime and update is released, more people buy it, people buy the game after having to wait a month for non-steam server updates and probably the most important thing: that is THE best advertising you could get (imo). If they update their games, people will buy other games made by valve, becouse they can be sure it WILL get updated (I heard that L4D will get updates, so lets not talk about it).
Also, by keeping players playing TF2, they make Steam more popular as a product (shop), so more companies want to get their games and adds on steam which also get them profit (idk, just guessing…)
Yes, so why would that be negative?
(Seems to be your general mood towards the updates)

I didnt say it is negative in ANY way. Thats a huge possitive, but I want to stop people with those silly (imo) “consider yourself lucky blah blah blah” arguments. And the only time I was negative towards an update was the one that broke rj. Thats only becouse I main solly, and with no ability to jump… well lets just say they fucked my favarite class for few days ;)
Dunno how old you are nor do i know how long you’ve been gaming EXM but believe me i don’t know many other games (even non valve games) where they cared that much about what the community/public want or think…
The funny thing is sure its promotion to valve and promotion to the actual game Team fortress 2 but i really don’t think Robin Walker himself has that as his intention, seems to me that he actually wants to listen/care to what we as a community want, rather than doing it so more money is made and $$$$$$$$$ etc because lets face it Valve could just go out and make another game and do well in it so why continue with TF2? it’s not exactly huge compared to cod or css and so on? :)
Hey valve might even respond to the whining TF2 players about the self -damage bug that was posted this morning and send an update 2night!
fyi – if they are to update it 2night it will be around midnight GMT thats 01:00 CET for those caring etc…
Cheers

I dont quite get it where does my age fit in, but whatever…
First of all, I think they dont want to just give up on TF2 so easily, becouse it became more than a game for them. After all, it has been in production 12 (???) years and making a game like that wouldnt be so easy.
Secondly, sure, the competitive scene isnt as big as CS:S or DoD:S, but I have no doubt that TF2 has THE biggest public scene, and as far as I noticed, 90% of updates are meant towards it, and not comp gameplay.
And finally, I think you got me wrong: I’m not saying that valve is a bad company nor that they dont care about anything but money. I just want to say, that they dont update the game JUST for the people- valve gets more than enough from those updates too.

You’re wrong, they do update the game for the people. And because they are doing that they gain happy customers, of which they profit in the end.

That’s what I’m saying… T_T

Then “we’re lucky becouse we get free updates so stop whining” is a good argument right?
Valve is giving us a free service
/giveup
Hey i killed your sister but i did it for free so you should be thankful
Well at least you’re providing a service, fair play to you! :>
Lol @ you.
Valve is a company no different to any other.
Have you not seen the publicity they get with the updates?
Its on every site, in every gaming magazine.
All companies know that good publicity = priceless.
If they’d run valve like some of you imagine they do then there would be no tf2 cause they’d file for bankruptcy a looong time ago.
Free updates ftw… Thinking they dont get the man hours put in them (and then some) back is just one big fail :)
