Tolyngee > your anger is misdirected. Try the 2k forum or email their CEO to let them know how you feel.
The guys around here have done nothing but persist in getting an official fix (so that Xbox 360 owners could be catered for also) instead of us just settling for a rather good 'hack' that already has the game working for us.
If it wasn't for Paddy and some other guys (and all the persistent supporters over @ 2k) then there would be no fix.
It's MS and 2k that have dissapointed you, no need to get angry here about it in a private forum that owes nothing not anyone nor answers to anyone.
First, although I am quoting you, I'd first like to apologize to Paddy for any spoilers... I was just disappointed that the stuff I assumed was correct was so guessable...
It's like watching Titanic... You know it's going to sink, but it's still a great movie...
But, still, you just KNEW it was going to sink...
Anyway, yeah, I am upset, and misdirected, but I don't want hacks being seen as a positive for PC gamers... Some devs are considering not bothering with the PC anymore, meaning hacks could disappear...
So the games need to be properly supported...
I'm not much of a gamer... Only two games I have installed in the past year are TrackMania Nations (which kept me hooked for almost a month... I got pretty darn good at it, beat Nadeo's times on most of the tracks...) and Prey...
I typically don't get around to installing games...
But if I want to be certain to play a game, I take time off from work... I did that for HL2...
But, again, what upsets me so much about all of this is how "tallscreen" support, with no way of modifying the FOV out-of-the-box without a hack, means the devs had no intention of supporting TH2G...
"-1 again for TH2G" I suppose...
I want TH2G for my sims, but I also would like to know devs of other genres are going to support it as well... (supporting it, after all, just means supporting widescreen...)
Anyway, I will stop my rant and ramble...
Sorry that I did not know earlier when to shut up...
Again: spoilers sure do suck...

Hope this timeline isn't the expectation on the Bioshock patch...
