So, you're running a gambling website at your own expense, just for fun?

Thanks, I'll reinstall it and give it a go.

Getting excited about rumoured updates never backfired before, all aboard the hype train! I for one am saving up my pocket money to buy Spy vs Engineer journals and the six new weapons from the Mann Co. Store, one of which might be partially useful. I can use them all in the new matchmaking on rd_asteroid, TF2's new competitive gamemode inspired by Dota, because TF2's comp scene failed because it isn't enough like Dota, Robin Walker said so.

I tried to start the tutorial and it crashed. When I restarted it had forgotten all my bindings because apparently those aren't saved to disk. I guess TF2 ain't so bad.

Otoh think of the 5:1 return if there's an upset.

Most people don't use comms anyway I wouldn't worry about it.

Brief history lesson: college sports started way back before professional leagues even started, so they already had a sizeable fanbase which they've held onto. The NBA was only founded in the 40s and the Superbowl in the 60s, which is why college basketball and football are so big. MLB started in the 19th century so college baseball isn't as big.

Fortunately us white heterosexual men are exempt from the licence fee so it doesn't matter if there's fuck all for us to watch because it's all talent shows, soaps and cooking.

People pay to watch it because they enjoy it and want to see it done by people better than them. I don't think spectators look up how many hours a player has spent training before they watch. There are NFL players who were track athletes who converted, they haven't necessarily spent ten thousand hours doing it. If it was purely about being an elite level, so many people wouldn't watch lower division football, or international teams with no chance of winning or even qualifying for World Cups.

Darik's Boot and Nuke is the only way to be sure.

Doubt it. They sold $40 million dollars of those compendium things, paid a quarter of it out in prize money and kept the rest.

That's when Dota2 was just coming out of beta and CSGO hadn't exploded like it has. The revenues aren't really that relevant, at Valve people work on what they feel like and evidently none of the A-team are interested in TF2 anymore.

TF2 players think they take their hat money and put it in CSGO. CSGO players think they take their skin money and put it in Dota. Dota players think they take their fancy courier money and put it in Steam machines or whatever.

The fact is that Valve invests little of any of its games' revenues back into them, using them for newer projects instead. Most things wrong with TF2 aren't really about money. Things like bad default settings, pointless weapons with weird stats, a bad quickplay system, bugs, unintuitive mechanics, bad weapon tooltip descriptions etc. aren't things that need money to be fixed, they just need a bit of care and attention, which is what has been missing lately.

It did that for me, I think I had to delete the rayshud folder from the custom folder before running it.
