I don't think so. What percentage of the Half-Life sales do you think were
due to people buying for TF2? Not that many, I'd bet. If Half-Life was a
piece of shit game, then I'd be more inclined to agree with you, but the
fact is it is one of the best FPS shooters ever and one of the greatest
games I've played.

I'm sure Valve meant what they said when they said it, but then they maybe
realised that they could do a lot more with TF2. Unfortunately, that means
they have to sell it for a higher cost. I can live with that, if the game
will be better in the end.
