    I can’t really imagine how the PC gaming world would look today without steam.

      And to think that everybody was pissed as hell when Steam first got introduced with HL2 and CS…how far we’ve come haha.

        I’m still sad that steamingpileofshit.com finally got killed. I think within the last year or two.

        Used to redirect to steam.com since the old days when everybody hated Steam lol. It’s hugely improved now and I love everything that GabeN has done for the PC gaming community; Steam being a huge part of it.

        But I still laugh a bit at the old days.

          Steam was so rough at launch. I registered at 7:50 pm on launch day but the I didn’t play counter strike that day.

            Oh my God, yeah. I bought HL2 on news years day coming with a massive hangover and just wanted to nurse it with a new game.

            Worst gaming experience ever, until I finally got into the game the next day.

            I remember the friends list basically being nonfunctional.

            How far Steam has come…
