Bullshit. Add-ons, mods and conversions extend the playability and add value to the game. Would people still be playing Quake if there had been no Team Fortress or Capture the Flag? I consider the mod part of the value of the game...especially when the mod is as highly promoted and anticipated TF2. If I had known TF2 was going to be an entirely separate game I would most likely not have purchased Half-Life. The point is I thought I *had* to buy Half-Life at some point if I wanted TF2. Evidently, so did a lot of other people. Yes, they do extend the life of the games quite far. That still doesnt change the fact stated above. If these people only bought Half-Life because of TF2, why did they buy it now instead of waiting for TF2 to be released? Ehhh heh. Too bad.
