Steam As Fast As Possible

Steam has grown into the dominant platform for game distribution. How did we get from buying games on optical media to using Steam for most of our gaming needs?

Oh Steam. I used to hate having it installed and now I'd feel naked without it.

[TheNiteNinja]

Steam literally has made getting games and keeping them up to date easier than pirating.

Please do another one of these, I just got my first gaming pc after saving for years for a beast setup. There’s so much to learn it’s overwhelming.

Half-Life is a techdemo Project.
Valve only releases Half-Life whenever a new iteration of their engine gets released.

Half-Life 1 -> GldSrc Engine
Half-Life 2 -> Source Engine
Half-Life 3 -> Source 2 Engine

Since Source 2 is actually in development I would bet my whole savings that in the next 5 years (if Source 2 gets released in this timeframe) will be home to a HL 3 release.

PEACE OUT!

Origins loudly whimpers in the corner.

Half Life 3 confi-... Nah, fuck it, it's been too long already. Give me Left4Dead 3 though, that'll do.

I'd trade every M&M I'll ever eat for HL-3 to _finally_ be released.. Hell, I'll even throw in a kidney stone or 3.
