Disgruntled and dismayed about what he perceives as a sub-par PS3 release, a fan of Valve Software's The Orange Box posted an open letter to Valve in their official forums, asking the studio to urge Electronic Arts to release a patch to fix the current bugs and flaws in the game. Here is part of what he wrote, in verbatim:

Please Valve, pressure EA to fix the very noticeable faults in the PS3 version. The original release of Half Life 2 was one of the finest moments in interactive entertainment. Please keep it that way. Please EA, listen to your consumers... release a patch to fix what should not have been in there from the start.
