  I have heard that people used to be super PISSED that steam is required for valve games. I guess it makes sense now considering hdd sizes back then.

    I've never been pissed off over a game before i even played it, except for Half Life 2.

    Full game on the disk.
    Requires internet to install.
    Requires Steam.

    This was before broadband, so the awesome game you bought hung over won't be installed until late tonight, instead of the normal 10 minutes off the cd.

  Now what sucks is that people are okay with underaged kids gambling because, come on, it’s Steam!

      To be honest yea, I just feel like it’s pretty much gambling, now that there’s a real market around it
