This goes against the entire point of greenlight, but hey the system was always broken which is why it's being wound down anyway. Seen the amount of games appearing on Steam lately? Before, even being on Steam would earn your little title minimum $200k easy (millions with a bit of luck), lately these devs are seeing…

The narrator's read is priceless.

Is that an official partnering with 24?

It's about costs savings - I guarantee it. Last minute things are fine to patch in, a few hundred mb of bug fixes, maybe even a gig to include some art revisions. 20gb is pure content which could have been on a second disc. As for costing 'nothing', it'd break down to about a dollar a disc for them, after physical…

My guess is he'd have no right to do that. Every developer's IPs would be compromised by having DRM free versions of their game out in the wild, and considering that would then be a world without Steam, I'd say that's a scary proposition for devs.

There is no way 20gb of content was not ready for launch. In no game development world does that make sense. These will be levels and art assets that were completed months ago. This is a cost-cutting measure to save on including a second disc.

This isn't a day one patch - this is cost-cutting to save on having to print another disc. How about providing 2 blu rays instead of users having to download 20gb of content?

Fucking idiots. Do they not understand that Valve already make more money than god through Steam? Let along Dota, CS, L4D, Oranage box etc. What's to gain from releasing HL3? Nothing - they don't need more money. And considering the minuscule odds it will live up to the hype and existing track record (HL2 being 'Game…

Hey Andy, you might find this interesting:

Whoops, I seriously thought that was his wife.

And yet Destiny was flawless and not a peep out of the press.

Clever girl...

God damn I lol'd hard.

Nice of him to waste the time of 50 other devs to 'research' the issue. Of course it happens. We get it all the time. You just need to make a judgement call when you see an email request. The vast majority of the time they're obvious anyway. If in doubt, ping them back with a simple question about the channel - if…

You're surprised gamers put up with it? Don't buy the fucking GAME then. Move along, and let those that are fine with paying for extra work do so.

Couple of major drawbacks:

Someone needs to sue that church.

Firstly, and no offence intended here, but suck it! About time we scored an exclusive. :)

What? Perhaps you (and the majority of game 'critics') need to reevaluate what constitutes a really, really flawed game then? Can stop playing it but love slamming it and cashing in on coverage since everyone else loves it too. Such hypocrites.
