Has it occurred to you that the large number of people who complained about
having to buy Half-Life in order to play TF2 are probably one of the
reasons Valve decided to release it as a standalone? Many people will have
been in your position, wanting to buy Half-Life for TF2 support, but will
not have been able to afford to do so. By making TF2 a standalone product,
Valve answer these peoples' complaints by letting them purchase just one
piece of software, instead of one piece of software and an add-on.
Admittedly, by doing so they also piss off people in your position, but
sometimes you just can't please everybody.
