It still amazes me that Steam ever succeeded considering it started out as a dump for Half Life mods. I wonder what they're gonna push with HL3.

since it's coming out in about 2050, virtual reality???

buying pc games used to suck balls.

you'd buy the game, put the discs in your computer... back in the days of floppy disks, there'd be like 20 loving disks, and one would always mysteriously go bad. that sucked.

we then got cds, which were a little better - but you'd have to keep the cd in the drive! that sucked!

once the internet became popular, you'd always have to spend like 4 hours finding patches and then finding nocd patches that worked with the new versions and dealing with daemon tools - that poo poo frigging sucked.

now you right click, install, and everything is handled!

This a thousand times.

People who bitch about Steam were probably a newly unwanted pregnancy in the mid-90s.

Anybody who has never had to mess around with tons of floppies or CDs, hosed around with .ini files to get poo poo to work, deal with installing drivers and it loving up half the time, etc. have no right to bitch about Steam. It really is the most seamless platform for gaming that has ever existed.
