And it's worth pointing out that for my side of the globe, which includes little places like china and SEA, we woke up to server maintenance. The compedium won't sell out, it has unlimited supply. It doesn't really matter when you buy it as well. It really is no diferent than any other server maintenance, the timing will suck for some people somewhere in the world, that's just how it is. It's not even a long one, and it doesn't happen often at all. Doing it several hours after they sold the ticket really doesn't mean anything. Waking up to server maintenance is really not a big deal. Few people play in the morning, peak times are in the evening and after. It seems it's already up again. | ||

Valve's goof is not the same as other major events. Fast sell outs, connection issues and scalping is expected, that's standard. Companies still try and reduce the scalping effect through various means: barcodes, names on tickets, ID requirements, purchase limits. Valve made almost zero effort towards preventing scalping and even including an easy built in system to do it. That's a huge oversight failure and customers have a legitimate gripe. | ||
