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.
