stupid moderators, if not valve directly

o_billdoor · 02-02-2005, 08:14 PM

Yeah, I'm not sure what happened to those posts. We haven't heard anything from Valve, so it could just be a moderator playing it safe.

o_anthraxium[wu] · 02-02-2005, 08:17 PM

wait, so valve deleted the post containing FF as a source mod??

I don't think we should jump to that conclusion. It was more likely one of the steam forum moderators who aren't employed by Valve.

o_silver · 02-02-2005, 08:30 PM

vindictive moderators

o_storm · 02-02-2005, 08:46 PM

It's always the same with forums of large organizations, the mods dont have a fucking clue what they are doing. You certainly can't take it as a true guide to what valve actually think.

o_repair man · 02-02-2005, 09:14 PM

Its much easier and far more entertaining to jump to conclusions.

It would be pretty funny if it was Valve that trimmed the FF posts and links. They ignore the TFC community for years, and when people finally band together to do something about it, they disallow discussion of the resulting TF mod on their forums.

Even though that probably isn't the case, if Valve did pass down the word, you guys should be flattered. You've made Newell and the gang a little nervous.

o_lithium · 02-02-2005, 09:16 PM

Yea , i'd be pretty suprise if it was Valve's censorship. They're usually pro-gamer.

o_returner · 02-02-2005, 09:17 PM

I don't get it. Is Valve making TF:S secretly and doesn't want any kind of competition, or what?

o_sobe green · 02-02-2005, 09:48 PM

If anything Valve has TFC:S. Which isn't TFC on the source engine but a direct port. I doubt they'll release that. Anything they release that isn't TF2, will get alot of the fan base pissed off, or people will just start laughing at them again. I'm thinking Valve is just sitting around waiting on the community to make something good. Then they will offer to buy it, if you refuse, "Oh you're breaking copyright by the way".

o_mikequist · 02-02-2005, 09:59 PM

the mod being bought by valve, although contarary to popular belief would be the best thing possible. this means direct downloads and updates through steam. But, new information was released recently by Gabey! in an interview off a popular Hl2 spanish site. He said that theyre really close to mods being in the My Games list so that means easy updates for everyone i believe! Woot!

But Valve screwed TFC up. This mod's goal is to give a TF experience that Valve was unable to do. A mod that has been out as long as TFC has should be running near perfect. But it isn't anywhere near perfect.

o_mikequist · 02-02-2005, 10:39 PM

hey they have families to feed and they arnt going to make much money keeping a game with a population as small as tfc updated as much as a game that has kept them alive (cs). not that an occasional update wouldnt be too bad but in reality these people have the choice of catering to hundreds of thousands or a few thousand.

o_lithium · 02-02-2005, 10:59 PM

CS was made by Valve Employees btw. They didn't get bought or kinda.
DoD got bought
and so did that Single player thing that sucked.

schtoofa · 02-02-2005, 11:17 PM

Some moderator or whomever on the steampowered forums is editing posts (like pizzahut's) and removing threads dedicated to FortressForever. FF staff had noticed it happening a couple of weeks back, too... it just keeps happening.

Cute, huh...

I'd rather not speculate. It's slightly irritating but they (whoever 'they' is) may have their reasons. Either way, I'd rather you guys don't kick up a stink or a fuss over it. Doing so would most likely just cause problems for us more than anything

CS was originally made by Gooseman. Valve bought it years later.

No Counter-Strike wasn't made by Valve. It was made by a few guys who just wanted to make a mod. Valve later seen promise in the mod, bought it from them, and employed them. Thus CS 1.0 was born. Thats the short story anyway.
