so sad that people are shaming you for writing this , I think you spoke the silent part out loud , but that takes courage. I thank you man.
PS: I am the guy who wrote the long paragraph about crowdfunding.
After reading the hackernews , it became evident that yes it would be nice for foss source code but its never gonna happen because its gonna take effort and money for valve for what? they might not do it , because I guess they are there for making money ?
I believe that crowdfunding is the way to go , Instead of forcing companies to give what we want for free , we need to provide an incentive for them.
This crowdfunding could also be a great PR for valve itself as well. Crowdfunding is the win-win situation I could think of , but oh I am more than happy to eat my own word , if I can get source's source code and really run team fortress 2 fully open source.
