VALVe just made their first mistake, and it's hilarious

Postby Tonnochi » Thu Oct 11, 07 1:45 am

VALVe wants $1 million dollars from Apple to start porting Half-Life 2 to Mac. Gg.

How is it a mistake to want money for something that will hardly sell?

Half life is good, I think it'll do pretty will. I'm loving the Orange Box right now. :)

That was an incredibly stupid move for VALVe. Like they need the money bad anyway, with the raging success of Steam. But Protocol had a good point.


Btw, how'd The Orange Box do in sales?

Even though they are successful doesn't mean they don't have targets or have given up the will to make money. If it was like that, they may aswell close down now.

Also, $1 million really is not that much to Apple.

Apple aren't exactly a poor company. They've paid devs in the past to bring games to their platform, so why should valve with one of the top selling FPS's of all time be any different.

Business is business.
