- steam: Cod:MW2 brought them a lot of buck, since most other digital distribution systems decided not to sell it.
What happened is, major developers decided to allign with the de-facto leader. That only re-inforced Valve’s position.
As for the first AvP, that’s just marketing for the new game. And it is not Steam that broght the old game back, it was Rebellion. And again, they did it as a parketing scheme for the upcomming game.
- CoF video: use it to market their mod! And in order not to reveal the juicy parts, fade them out to black while keeping the audio.
- Dave’s comments on The Ball: it reminded me of a line Matt Stafford delivered to stenchy once: “it flows …”. I guess the line for you is “it rolls …”
