My account turns 20 on the 14th, and I can’t help but think about the fact that games like Half-Life and Counter-Strike that I bought once 20 years ago are still so easy to play and enjoy today. Steam really set the model for how digital media sales should be done.
Contrast to that was trying to play StarCraft again and even though I own I don’t have a CD drive anymore. I’d have to buy another copy to even play again.
Pretty sure 20 years ago Counter Strike was still a free mod for half life.
When Gaben dies and Steam inevitably sells out to corporate shills I’m going to shake my fist at the sky in anger.
I hope they keep him alive forever like a US congressperson
Yeah… as years go I keep thinking about this. Not sure if he has any real thought plan or something for somebody he trusts… I mean he has kids but not sure about them wanting anything to do with it, or him wanting to give it to them, no idea.
MAKE PORTAL 3 COWARDS. YOU WONT.
What about Half-Life 3? XD
Make anything non-CS/TF-related.
HL Alyx was 3 years ago.
Honestly portal 2 was less interesting then portal 1. It was very meme heavy. It also became focused on running for your life instead of a puzzle game with a mystery. I’d rather see a new IP that isn’t a card game.
I like portal 1 quite a bit more than portal 2. Portal 1 felt like this dark mystery with occasional bits of humor. It felt very connected to Half Life, not necessarily in story, but definitely in atmosphere. Portal 2 was missing a lot of that. It oddly felt less lonely than Portal 1, and was missing a lot of that Half Life atmosphere.
Additionally I love the implications that Portal 1 has if you play Half Life. Outside is absolute hell, and you don’t know if you’d rather be outside the facility or inside it.
So Steam can’t even have a beer in the US?
Love the retro green look, suddenly brings back a bunch of memories!
Cool! Now if only it would scrap the shitty DRM
You mean the Steam DRM that is cracked within seconds of a game releasing?
Doesn’t matter, tbh. It shouldn’t be there in the first place
It’s token DRM for publisher box checking. It shouldn’t need to there but I appreciate that they almost make a point of doing the bare minimum.
Never said I don’t agree with you. Quite the opposite, instead. (Hence the joke about how the DRM is so shitty that it’s cracked within seconds.)
Everyone here with their 20 year badges about to be unlocked and I’m over here with 9 year badge - curse my 7 year old self for only having access to a gameboy lmao
My account turns 20 in a few hours…!!
It’s strange, I would have thought Steam came out prior to 2003,
Woo 20 years of taking 30% from some of the most vulnerable game developers. It’s okay though because recently they gave the non vulnerable a percentage cut.
