  …Think it’s too late to get a refund?

    They didn’t even do refunds back then

    I don’t think they can refund ATi Half Life 2 tokens.

  Ye gods, 18 years, 4 months for mine. You'd hope that they'd just automatically stop asking if I'm old enough to view store pages, right?

    My account is so old I have (or had, before they normalized the format) a four digit steam ID. I “owned” Half Life 2 for like four months before it released thanks to getting a code free in the box with my Radeon 9800 Pro back in the day. For a short and glorious flash of time in the summer of 2004, I was guaranteed a copy of the most hotly anticipated game ever, even though nobody could play it yet, and also owned an example of the fastest video card on the planet. Damned if I didn’t mow a fuckton of lawns and reinstall Windows and Outlook an a horde of septuagenarians’ computers to afford that card.

    And no, they do not stop asking about your age.

    My account turned 21 a couple months ago. They really should just go “yeah, it’s fine” and don’t ask

      we old lol.

      I probably have 500+ hours in Counter Strike Source and about the same in Day of Defeat Source, from 2003-2005. All before steam kept track of play time. So many games (including HL2!) show “no recorded activity”. It really irks me but it’s also kind of funny. Took a near total break from gaming until about 2015. Didn’t get a decent PC until 2020. I Was surprised I even remembered my steam login.

  I remember registering my CD key of HL1 on Steam and was surprised when they gave me the expansions for free. Cool, because I didn’t have them.

  I remember buying The Orange Box on Steam. I remember it because Steam gave me a warning because I already had Portal - it was free at some point. Was a bit miffed when TF2 went free to play later on.

  And I somehow still haven’t played HL2 on Steam, I think? I played it about 1/3 way on Xbox 360. Played the shit out of Portal on 360 though.

  Originally played on orange box on the 360, I’m surprised I didn’t already have it on steam. Glad I stumbled on this post

    Holy crap, someone who actually didn’t have it yet!

    • NOT_RICK@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I mean I do, just not on steam

      • Sludgehammer@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Close enough I suppose.

  Well, they implemented some graphical improvements and options, as well as workshop mod support so now would be a good time for a replay.
