He calls himself a journalist? That was the most badly writen story I have ever seen.
He mentions several problems about viruses but is very vague about them which just confuses the reader. He abreviates Microsoft to MS and assumes all readers will know what he is talking about. He uses the phrase "before they got the #&$^ viruses in the first place." What place do starred out swears have in a good piece of English? He also expects valve to change its opperations for one LAN, and to be there to spoon feed perfectly capable admins, which is a lot to ask.

Hasn't Half-Life continued to outsell itself each year, selling more copies annually as the game ages? I seem to remember Half-Life as being the only game to accomplish that. If that is accurate, Half-Life would still be a major source of income for them. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

CS and its mods drive nearly all of HL sales. "Free" is a misnomer. You still had to own HL (read: buy it). I never bought HL, but I did buy CS.
Besides, the HL name would be not be so prevalent if it were not for its mods. With HL2 coming out soon, that is important.

I said I never bought it. I didn't say I never played it.
