I think that was the issue--the write up did not go into the details, which makes it seem like what they did was neither difficult nor extraordinary, especially if you factor in that Valve has practically unlimited amount of money to spend, a deep pool of talented employees with nothing better to do, and no deadlines.

Yea the details were lacking but this is a cool project which took someone’s time and creativity. Whether or not it was an accomplishment for them or valve on a grand scale doesn’t matter, you folks don’t have to shit on it because it wasn’t mind blowing. I swear, nothing impresses hacker news commenters, Dropbox included.
