Ah I remember the old days, when all you had was Counter-Strike 1.6 and the other old games. Then came Condition Zero and the Counter-Strike: Source beta. Finally, Half-Life 2 comes out and it still takes FOREVER to get into the game despite all the pre-loads. I should have probably timed how long it took to load the game and for each in-level load because they were so long.
And here we are today, wow.

I remember how god awful Steam was at first too. I still have issues with it, but I can't call it anything but good in an overall sense.They seem to be the only company with big enough balls to push the cost savings a company gets with digital distribution while simultaneously promising that should they ever go down they will flag all games as playable sans internet. It is the only reason I trust buying from them at all to be honest.

I do like the fact that they can have so many sales for their games and can encourage so many sales for other games on Steam.
Picking up Left 4 Dead 2 the other week for $7 was awesome. Then there's the whole big winter holiday sale.
