I got my Steam account through a HL2 disc too!

I remember being very excited when Steam added a new game that was not made by Valve. It was, at the time, an interesting experiment in digital distribution outside a big publisher. “Rag Doll Kung Fu”, a shitty click-driven fighting game.

Early on, I never imagined they’d get big names like Call of Duty publishing there, but it happened sooner than I expected.
