Test Poll

Sorry for the lack of comments on the STEAM protest thing. I have been monitoring 3 Valve lists (hlds, hlds_linux, hlcoders) and when STEAM first came out and was disastrous there were no comments from anyone at Valve. This is what spurned my idea to protest. However, after a few days Valve started to come around and even apologized for bungling the whole STEAM distribution thing. They put together the larger d/l files so we wouldn't have to d/l from STEAM from scratch, have worked on issues and are receiving and responding to constructive criticism. They even asked the people on the lists if anyone can mirror some of the d/l files until they get over the bump in requests (or increase their bandwidth).

I still believe STEAM has a way to go before it will be at the point that WON is now but I also believe that Valve is working hard and learning from their mistakes.
