It’ll never catch on.
That caption reads a children’s book
Mr. Newell wants to distribute games over the internet.
Mr. Jobs wants to distribute music over the internet.
Mr. Ballmer wants DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS!
All three of them were right, but one of them was doing the wrong amount of cocaine.
Mr. Newell, right? Because he wasn’t doing enough?
When my parents bought me the physical edition of Half-Life 2 when I was a kid, I was absolutely gutted that I needed an internet connection to play the game because it wanted to install Steam. We lived in a rural area without Internet so I simply just couldn’t play it at all :(
I had the same experience. Real OGs hated steam and slowly came to accept it as the default distribution platform. It’s good now, but my account was created on December 25, 2004 and I remember how it was
I installed the first version of Steam directly to my C drive instead of putting it in a folder named Steam.
So I uninstalled it with the plan to reinstall.
After a curiously long time I realized the uninstaller was working its way through deleting my entire C drive. All my bookmarks, m t mp3s, my winamp skins… everything not on a zip drive… I tried to stop the uninstaller but it was clear I would have to do a full format and dig out the FCKGW XP key.
Ah Steam. Fuck you. You came around for the most part, but fuck you for that.
I distinctly remember when I decided Steam was best. I hated it and bought Borderlands (the original) through some other service. My friends got an update through Steam and I didn’t get it for a long time. The patch from the official website only worked for the physical edition.
That’s just crazy talk. Crack some skulls and get Half-Life 2 out the door Mr. Newell. Everyone knows that you buy boxed PC games at the mall like normal people.
