Re: Something strange is happening in Portal...
It's cool that Valve makes leaking info such a rat-race, but what kind of people spend their day deciphering all that stuff?

Re: Something strange is happening in Portal...
yea, that's kinda bizarre. But hey, to each their own. These freaks that spend their days deciphering computer game marketing will be the ones to figure out how to put a virus into an alien mothership.

Re: Something strange is happening in Portal...
I'm not sure I'm cool with them changing an existing game. I mean, what they did with Portal and the final video doesn't really change the game any, but the idea of them going into my game and changing it makes me a bit uncomfortable. What's to stop them (or another publisher) from going into a game I love and changing some core gameplay mecahnic? OR removing a level? I think adding content is cool... but altering existing content isn't far from removing content, and I'm not so cool with that.
On the other hand, the marketing they're doing is pretty cool. It's nice to see people going so far into it and making it so interesting. I'm just nervous about them altering my games without my consent.

Re: Something strange is happening in Portal...
they allow other company's DRM to exist within their own DRM. to me that's a let down. Another let down is that you can't gift a game to somebody else after you're done playing it. Or resell your game. Or 'cash out' and get a DRM-free version of your game and remove it from Steam entirely.
But yes, I understand what you're saying. For the most part, with some exceptions, Valve has been good.
