Same here. I've used it since the day of release with HL1 and CS, etc. Back when they had that initial beta of Friends IM thing (its taken them until now to get that going again lol). I have no real problems with steam. I've several times now purchased games through steam instead of retail, because I got more doing it that way (like the HL2 packages when the game was first released).TaGert wrote:I've used steam from the day it was released. I was skeptical to this way of releasing it at first. Having manualy updated cs since the first betas. Now I would not have had it any other way.
I just want to make sure before I shell out money that:
a) this steam release has NO starforce
b) all official game patches will work with the steam version
c) all game mods will work with the steam version
Some of those can be mitigated, for instance:
b) I dont mind if they have to release special patches for steam, as long as they do it QUICKLY after retail patch is done. If they took advantage of steam's versitility for the game updates, it could be great, very easy way for gamers to keep the game up to date.
