The only problem the guy had was that he used UK Ebay when Valve is American. Other than that, it actually seems real.

Something else funny. The site Valvesoftware.com says '? 1995-2003' at the bottom. Technically, I could make a box map, call it half-life, copyright it, and sue them for lots xD

rofl ... so doing that :biggrin:

I'm going to do it first and sue you as well!

Ha ha! Mines almost done!

Dude! You have 1.8million dollars?? That's why you think nothing of buying a 200 dollar mouse.

Bwahahahaha!

You do realize that they would win the case since A)The date listed at the bottom of the site means absolutely nothing, B) They would win in a case against you, since they would essentially have squaters-rights to the name "Half-Life 2", and C) your Half-Life 2 mod essentially uses HL1 code, which, if you read the EULA, means that Valve technically OWNS your map to begin with.

/killjoy

And trust me on the EULA thing. I had enough fun dealing with that a while back.

Who said I'm making my Half-Life 2 with the half-life engine? Maybe I'm using the Quake 3 engine.

And since they can't really copyright undeveloped software (Since it constantly changes), I can own them

sorry call me stupid, but what was on there? Its gone now (I think they caught on :smile: )...

That sucks, It was selling Valve Software for 10 million Pounds. It had a thing saying that HL2 was a fraud, they made nothing, and kept trying to make people froget with the source hack and all the little delays

It's gone now because I called them up and offered $100,000,000 US funds. They couldn't refuse. Plus, now they don't have to deal with converting ? > $.

the links broken.

I remember someone brough this to Gabe Newell's attention on the hl2.net forums, and he was the highest bidder for a while. I guess he got sick of waiting and got e-bay to take it down. :smile:

the links broken.

yeh, what was on that page ?

Some guy was pretending to be Gabe Newell, selling Valve because they think they can't compete with Doom 3. All bulls**t of course. :smile:

Or is it?Maybe the screenshots are fake? Maybe the videos are really just people dressed up in costumes, running around and killing everyone. MAYBE!

yeh, while the seller's name was gabenewell2004, i actually saw gabe_newell on the bidders list. If you check his purchased items list, you'll see he has an unhealthy obsession with weird knives and axes. (and always pays without delay :razz: )

Perhaps he's the heir of Jack the Ripper!

Yeah, someone who visited Valve had a picture of Gabe's knife collection (which itself was just a bunch of pictures, but still), nd it was pretty damn impressive.
