Hey Valve, why do you suck so much at the whole DLC thing? Every other company I know can release sizable DLC in a timely manner. Bethesda, Bioware, Infinity Ward/Treyarch. I mean, how long have you been working on that Cold Stream pack? Eight months? Eight months to finish off an already partially completed community map and port the rest of the L4D1 maps over to L4D2? Really? Seriously, you can only use the "Microsoft won't let us" excuse for so long before people start realizing you guys have no idea what you're doing.

Valve is actually pretty damn good at the DLC thing. Also, it's all free. BioWare and Infinity Ward/Treyarch release content which should have been in the game to begin with as DLC, and Bethesda horse-armor, nuff said. The big question is, why would anyone buy a Valve game for the 360?

Because they either can't play the game on heir current computer and/or can't afford a better one or maybe it's just because they like to play with their friends online? What a stupid question although I'm guessing you're a thick one since you went straight for the horse-armor joke there.

Valve doesn't just develop for PC. They have a whole other fanbase that they just neglect and every time someone points this out to them they just go "Oh... um... Wait! Microsoft won't let us! Yeah that's it, it's Microsofts fault!" And then they turn around and make more hats.

Valve has used the Source engine for a long time now, if you've bought a PC in the past decade that has any sort of graphics card, odds are you can run Valve games just fine. More over, if you can afford a 360, the price of Xbox live, and a $60 price tag on games then you could likely afford a decent gaming PC.

That aside, the question I posed "why would anyone buy a Valve game for the 360?" (the word 'anyone' would imply "their friends" as well) still stands. Everyone knows Valve neglects the 360, so why buy their games for the system? But I guess you're a "thick one" since you didn't catch that.

And putting that aside as well, Valve's 'excuse' is a valid one, one that other developers have echoed, but for some reason Xbox kids can't seem to accept it.

No actually, I can't afford a decent gaming PC. Got my 360 second-hand and buy 90% of my games from the bargain bin. I'd like to have a good gaming computer but unfortunately I got bills and other things that are a bit higher priority.

Answered your question once already and my answers were valid enough despite what you may believe. Yes, I know Valve neglects their console players, but people will still buy their games for the same reason people still buy games from EA and Activision, because they're good games, and for some people who don't have a good gaming rig, it's better to just bite the bullet then go without, though I don't anymore, not since The Orange Box.

And Valves excuse may have been valid at one point but now when companies Bethesda can release enough DLC/expansions to with enough content to fill another whole game, it isn't, especially if all your trying to do is port over some old maps.
