Board 8 > Valve is becoming my favorite game company

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was never really a PC gamer
I dislike my old favorites now (Capcom, Nintendo, Square)
Valve just keeps giving me reasons to like them (aside from some issues with offline mode not working).
They just gave me Left 4 Dead 2. Just for clicking on something.

I've never had issues with Offline Mode myself, though I've had issues offline with specific games.

But yes, Valve is pretty awesome generally.

Fresh from my first justified ban. Ever!

Wow you got L4D2?

I only got a 50% off a Valve game coupon.

Granted that's L4D2 for $2.50 when the time comes but STILL

valve's business model and philosophy is pretty much second to none in the gaming industry and very, very few companies in the world can match it, especially in relation to their success with it.

gog's been catching up though.

Listen up Urinal Cake. I already have something that tells me if I'm too drunk when I pee on it: My friends. - Colbert.

Yeah they gave me Left 4 Dead 2 and 25% off Valve games. I already own The Orange Box and Portal 2. Someone can have my coupon if it's possible to give it away.

I got Counter-Strike: Source as one of my gifts. Already have it, so I gave it to a friend, but it's cool that you can actually get full games.
I've heard some folks today got Orcs Must Die and Metro for their freebies.

I read some article somewhere stating Valve is more profitable than Apple and Google.

You can give away duplicate games. That's better than PSN; I got a free copy of SR2 and I couldn't do anything with it because I already owned it.

Now playing: Super Mario 3D Land, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years (PSP), Final Fantasy V, Saints Row the Third

Team Fortress 2 is a reason to like Valve?

I got Half Life 2 Ep.1 and Deathmatch.

Meh.

Oh s***, asked my friend and he got Binding of Isaac, with soundtrack, for his free gift just for checking his god damn inventory page. AND a 33% off Valve coupon. All I got was a 50% Valve coupon.

What the hell, all I got was a -25% off Valve games coupon. Everyone else got something better.

Side note:

Games of WIndows Live is garbage.

The gifts for joining the event and for the Bunch of Heroes achievement have been reported to be bugged. Some people are getting them and some aren't. It should be fixed eventually.
