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.
