Wow, so many Half-Life 2 as their first game. … wait a sec, is that a kbin account? I thought kbin died. It was one of the reasons I switched over to a Lemmy instance.
Also, Steam was released adjacent to either hl2 or the orange box, don't remember which but that's when i got it. I remember being pissed at the time for it installing a launcher lmao
As I recall, you couldn’t get hl2 in stores when it first released. It was the vehicle that got people onto steam. It was a few years before they opened the platform up to other publishers.

It's Mbin now, but they kept the original URL.

To be fair, at that time you had all the rights to be pissed about it.

You could, but it was the first game that needed steam to run it. You bought the game to make the install/download faster.
