I am not surprised in the least by that information Rex.
For years the different CS games have had their own issues that left players blaming the communities/admins, and the communities/admins blaming hosts/mods. When in reality is was piss poor support by valve.
Case and point, CS:S: We hosted on every single fucking host/ISP in Toronto/Ontario. It would all be nice and peachy, and then 6 months down the line server registry would decay to the point were the game seemed unplayable.
OG buckshot jr remember this?
The sad truth is that Valve is NOT a good game developer(is good game developer a oxymoron?). Never has been. After all, there ability to produce and support games haven't made them rich, selling other peoples games have.
The world sucks. Fuck you Gabe.
