I remember having to leave my PC on overnight to download Batman!
Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased?

Skyrim. I was forced to download Steam to play it. I was on dial up and had just explicitly purchased a single player game not dependent on the internet, and yet..
Then it forced me download the game through Steam even though I had the physical disk right there. I couldn’t complete the download, it was too large.

My dial up would disconnect every night at like 2AM so that wasn’t even an option. I’d leave it and come back to it stopped entirely and it wanted to restart the download entirely anytime there was an interruption.

Modern gaming. Man sounds really frustrating, even though the game is on disk.

Oof, being on dial-up when skyrim released would be rough. I was on dial up until 2010 or so, and pretty much had to go other places to download anything onto a USB and then transport it back home.

I was stuck on dial up until 2015 when I moved. High speed internet opened so many possibilities. Just in time for ARK early access.
