Unfortunately p0tat03 the history of gaming is being lost to the usual poor quality of Internet reporting. It never ceases to amaze me that we have the most powerful search tool at out fingertips and so many fail to spend the 30 seconds to use it. Especially those that work or dabble in a specialty like gaming, yet are so ignorant of it's history. With the historical importance of the original TF you would assume it would be a no brainer to get it right. The impression you left did piss me off a tad Zonk. With all due respect to Valve, they have not been the historical innovators in online gaming, so lets not give credit where it is not due. Their original success was built on a mod they only later and begrudgingly invited into their fold when they discovered no one was actually playing halflife. It was not the original Halflife that flew off the store shelves, but rather a mod called CounterSrike that gave valve's halflife credibility. Valve's missteps are well recorded for those that care to read. I don't wish started on a larger rant about another Valve continuing blunder/disaster called VAC that is used as a customer relations tool (See we care) rather than anything resembling value for the customer base. Now I'm sure Valve is most pleased for the assistance to have history rewritten so the general public believes the TF franchise was again spawned out of their creative genius. I guess I must be getting old if I'm the only one that thinks it matters. I assumed Zonk was not part of the 'after' generation and should know better. However, I'm to lazy to take 30 seconds out of my life to ensure my comment accurate. Reporting these days need no be accurate as long as it reads well to capture a readers interest. Give credit to the creative genius and not the repackaged marketing myths. I suggest zonk that you get a historical researcher to check anything older than last week.
