The idea of a digital store was still new but man, what a good idea it was.Īre a big part of the problem of why we have things like DRM I think the first game I bought on Steam that wasn't Valve related was "Rag Doll Kung Fu". That ugly green UI, the non-working friends system (FOR YEARS I might add), loading bars that would never finish/hang all of Steam. (I remember the gif of the Steam logo uh, doing something). I still remember Half-Life fans being up in arms as they were shutting down the WON servers (which was the master online system for Half-Life and all mods) to force you to use Steam and everyone boycotted the hell out of it. Bro, I'm old now and don't sit on CS day in day out like I did 18+ years ago for CS <=1.6 (I started playing when it was a community mod, before all the guns got renamed and way before it was part of Valve). Funny story about that is, I'd say 1/5 games of CS:GO I played, I used to get accused of buying my account because "How could a 5 digit be so bad at the game". I have a 5 digit steam id so does that mean I was <100k of the signups? It's a miracle I haven't been hacked or lost the account since then. Getting a deep discount on a game meant most people were way more lenient about having to wait for the download servers to stop getting slammed, compared to buying a Blizzard game at full price on launch day and having to wait
