I'm renting it man...not buying it. I give Blockbuster $5 to borrow the game, I play it, return it. $5 to BlockBuster vs. $60 to IW vs. downloading a pirated version.....pretty simple......give my $5 to blockbuster!

Someone just needs to take Valve to court.

Well at least they responded and by the sounds of it they aren't going to change a single thing.

Yeah, GameInformer isn't the most unbiased source. Them including the word "fanboy" in the title of the article just makes me opinion of them even lower. And:

That article was written by someone who is one of two things:
1) Huge blind supporter of IW, and immature at that.
2) Paid off by IW, and immature at that.

He couldn't even keep his immature emotions out of the article's title.

I would definitely be canceling my GI subscription if I didn't enjoy their game review/previews so much.

2. At least read the OP before commenting.
