not gordon!!!!

If this is true, I'm going to kill myself.

NOOOOO!

THE BASTARDS AT EA GAMES CAN GO BURN IN HELL!

STAY STRONG VALVE, STAY STRONG.

Half-Life 3 = Half-Life 2010 = LAME EA GAMES >_

the guy actually looks sad.

owned HALF-LIFE 3: ROGUE AGENT, RATED T FOR TEEN!

This is a sad day in gaming history

And now I wake up! And now I wake up! And now I wake up! ..... NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

http://games.slashdot.org/games/05/07/18/216249.shtml?tid=204&tid=187 You idiots. EA is the PUBLISHER for Valve. They are only going to DISTRIBUTE! Nothing more!

Exactly, this actually is a good thing for Valve. Because, like it or not, EA knows how to distribute and advertise. I seriously doubt they'll be interfering with Valve's production, though.

Yeah, true, but EA IS STILL INVOLVED!

So? It's not like EA is going to overrun Valve's headquarters in Washington with an army of stormtroopers and replace all their computers with kittens. If anything happens out of the ordinary it might be an ad campaign for HL2 X-Box.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

EA sucks - they are too corperate. Valve is gay enough - but when you get EA involved.... I dont have respect for them anymore. HL2 = Awesome. CS:S = teh sux

Zero

there is nothing wrong with EA. i have no idea about what goes on with their business practices or whatever, i just know the sports titles they put out are f*cking killer. tiger woods 2005? hell yes

EA is teh suck

So is EA going to cut Valve's games in half and make them release endless expansions?

This is so depressing... I don't even know what to rate this!

I agree.

Rogue Agent would have been good if not for EA rushing it. I don't see why people cut KotOR2 so much slack but whine about Rogue Agent. It would have been GREAT had they put in all their ideas in it. Don't forget, EA will also make Valve release game

LENGTH OWNED: games with menu systems coded by three year olds and patches which fix nothing and completely break said games. (See BF2)

I just bought Battlefield 2. I want to personally walk into EA world HQ and see how many of then I can beat the sh*t out of with a shovel before security shoots me.

Seriously, no one but those f*cks would dare release that game until the xmas rush when the game, you know, WORKED. But no big title was ready for summer, so they just released the MOST-ready one. God damn.

EA?! Let the quality hit the ...... FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!

NOES!!!11111

Well, it was a good run while it lasted

This is a disgrace...Sound the alarm! Only one man can fix this mess...Brian Peppers.

lol Brian Peppers

Losar.

First Ubi Soft now Valve? They must be stopped

Noobs their just publiscing it not developing it...

EA may just be distributing, but they have a knack for advertising a products release date befor its been set, and then forcing it to be released then, finished or not

Someone will be avenged for this...

WESTWOOD, IO INTERACTIVE, COUNTLESSS OTHERES, and now valve, We are all doomed....Westwood MUST be avenged !

Theyre both AMAZING JEEZ... hell i wouldnt be surprised if they become one company and work together

ea :

f*ck EA, Valve's f*cked :(

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I like EA.

lol

the game company is bought by a company SAD FACES

For some reason Motor World Online comes to mind. It was the greatest racing game of it's time, but EA kept it low-key, didn't advertise, and then when they started to spread a little and pick up on the younger demographic, they closed it down altogether. Now they won't even release source code for it, or acknowledge that such a game ever even existed.

Hopefully, though, with their pushy deadlines, they'll avoid a Vivendi mistake like what we encountered with Steam and the realease of HL2.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

good thing i have stock in EA

Come on, it's not like it's the end of the world. All it means is that we'll see Valve games in game stores, rather than just on Steam.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT? NOooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo

noooooooooooooooooooo

this isn't new news, they published Episode One, its really nothing more than distribution, it won't effect the quality of the games

That's what they said about...every game EA ever published. And...not so much.

Half-Life 2142 to be released in the 3rd quarter of 2009.

heh, ever since I got a sweet deal from ATI, I had no need to actually buy a hard copy of any of valve's games. I just buy them off steam. valve makes far more money that way and EA gets none!

EA KILLED GORDON!!! NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! BITCH!!! BITCH!!!

Old, dude. And Valve are the only company with the grunt to boss EA about.
