Not directly related to half life 2 going gold, but I'm sick and tired of the people who bash Valve at everything they do. As any developer should know, there are many problems associated with software development that is far beyond anyone's control. Yes, I agree that the PR feed we've been getting from Valve hasn't been the greatest, but then again its not their fault the game wasn't completed when they were most likely told it was going to be done. Maybe I'm preaching to the deaf, but I wish everyone was a little less vicious and demanding, and a little bit more appreciative of the hard work that goes into a project such as this. I suppose I could have summed this up with, "Like you could do better." Appreciate the fact that people have worked their butt off over the last couple of years to try and bring you something that you will pay a measly price for hours of enjoyment. (hopefully;)
