TF2 was going to cost extra anyway.  So, squeezing money is probably not the
issue.
They have already stated that TF2 will have a lot of new features that arent
in Half-Life so it wouldnt really be just an "add-on."  I dont recall them
marketing Half-Life as the platform for TF2.  They marketed it as a kick ass
game with great graphics, AI, and interactivity.
It would be nice if they offered some sort of discount or rebate for people
who already bought Half-Life though.
Half-Life multiplayer rocks so I dont care.  There are a couple 'net issues,
but I dont experience any major problems.  On a LAN, it kicks ass.  TF2 will
be just another multiplayer game to add to the arsenal.
By the way, it's Valve, not Value.
