Oh I totally agree. And had I known about the Half Life CE edition I woulda steamed it and gotten the gold package.
Hell I still have my Diablo 2 CE Box with all it's goodies still inside.
But I think Vivendi and Valve really got into a pissing match after the Alcatraz ATI party, and from the Vivendi standpoint the gamers got screwed. (But I do like my Half Life T-Shirt, be better if it looked like a HEV suit heh).
But also the CE pets are alot of fun. I created a cow.. er Tauren and choose Mini Diablo, or Diablo Jr as I call him and was dancing with some other cows when all of a sudden fire starts spewing out of Jr. At first I thought it was lag and I somehow ended up on top of a campfire. Was funny to watch 10 cows stop dancing to figure out what all the fire effects was coming from.
