I am an avid steam user today, but I’m still bitter about valve requiring you to connect to steam back when Half Life 2 came out to “decrypt” the install from CD. I bought it launch day and couldn’t actually play it for 2 days because steam was essentially DDOS’d
I remember when they shut down the WON servers and forced me to migrate to steam. I could have had a 4 or 5 digit steam account number if not for resisting the migration.
