    I've been trying to think of things to boycott. However, as of right now, there's zip. Maybe my brain's boycotting me? If so, how the f... did it get wind of this new "boycott" ploy? I let it out as little as possible...

    as has already been said, it's great to see someone so high up in a business having such a great sense of humour.

    i think it's this human aspect to valve that makes them so liked in the gaming world (beyond their great games of course).

    awesome.

    Ok, so what exactly happens now that the gentleman in question has enough to fly gabe newell and erik roundtrip to his house lol..... this ought to be interesting..... cant wait for the video of the visit, which i assume he can afford considering his donations are at $2,874.12 USD with 1211 for roundtrip for one person.. so 2422 for two.......

    So they actually are going to go down? Respect for Valve's willingness to have fun has gone up.

    Of course this is also wonderful publicity for them, but still, awesome overall.
