Why is everyone so ignorant when it comes to the development process of a game? Volvo is just trying to make a buck, as is any other developer. Unlike many other games, Valve gives the player a choice to purchase items that have no effect on gameplay, and that’s it. The full game is always available to you whenever you boot it up. This is one of the largest games in the world, and Valve wants to ensure that with each update, they are making the right decision. Everyone was asking for gloves, and Valve went out of their way to put out gloves. They release them, and because not everyone can have them right away, people complain. What people failed to realize that update was that they also fixed many issues present in the game, and they continue to do that consistently. Instead of complaining about Valve and everything they do to ‘make a quick buck’, at least give them some praise for listening to the community and continuing development on a four year old game. It isn’t easy to develop a game at all, but when everyone is on your back, it’s even harder.
