| DPsx7 said: Then to the person with the long post I won't quote, don't try to defend Steam. I was there. Offline mode was not. I'd have used it. Saying it was buggy pretty much confirms my experience because if it wasn't working when I needed it, then why pretend it existed. Moral of the story is the Steam malware destroyed PC gaming and I won't be going back after what I put up with. As far as I'm concerned HL was a one and done franchise. |
Offline mode was not there but it was buggy but it didn't exist? How can something be not there and not exist if it was buggy? How can something be buggy but not exist?
You claimed that HL2 couldn't be installed from disc and needed to be downloaded. I disproved that.
You claimed that an offline mode didn't exist when HL2 launched in November 2004. I disproved that, too.
Why do you still ignore the facts?
And Steam destroyed PC gaming? Hundreds of millions of PC gamers disprove that.
Most developers and publishers supporting PC dispove that. (much more than in 6th or 7th console gen)
More and more former console only games getting ported to PC disproves that.
New games of these series with console roots launching the same day on PC disproves that.
Behavior of many console gamers disproves that. ("Let's call it 'console exclusive' and just ignore the existence of the PC version.")
Over 35 billion USD annual PC game revenue disproves that:


You don't like PC gaming since 2004? Who cares?
Hundreds of millions other people do.
