<Wah Wah> Valve sucks. What a surprise. Oh sorry, its humour. <Chortle chortle>. <Sigh>

Frankly I think a company taking an interest in the number of people who finish their game, the points at which they frustrate the players in their level design and the overal playability of their games should be applauded.

Even if its not the way we want all gaming to go, good entertaining gameplay over a certain timeframe has it place.
