Valve Launches First of an Episodic Trilogy
Bellevue, WA, June 1, 2006 - Valve®, developer of the blockbuster series Half-Life® and Counter-Strike™, announced Half-Life® 2: Episode One is now available via Steamgames.com for just $19.95 and at retail outlets around the world.
The first in a trilogy of episodic games, Episode One reveals the aftermath of Half-Life 2 and launches a journey beyond City 17. Episode One does not require Half-Life 2 to play and also includes a first look at Episode Two, which will ship by year's end.
In addition to the new single player experience, two multiplayer games are included. And those who purchase Episode One will have free access via Steam (www.steamgames.com) to Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, the interactive technology demo that introduces High Dynamic Range lighting to the SourceTM Engine, Valve's award-winning game technology.
Good grief man, calm down. wth is wrong with you? Valve wasn't "allowed" to switch to online delivery only on some bond of contract that it would magically make you a millionaire. It's an approach they took because they figured it would work for them, and they are seeing what the market will bear.
As for brining costs down, you as a layperson have exactly zero ways to tell if it has or not. Factor in inflation, all sorts of other market shifts, exponentially increasing costs for making games, different game styles, and so forth, and even a real ecnonomist wouldn't be able to tell immediately whether some aspect of the market has changed things or not. But apparently, you, with your power of namecalling, CAN do this.
WOW!
