I got invited

Do you If I accept it and install the game if I will be able to invite other people or do I have to play for some time?

ObsidianZed ,

You don’t remember the year of the rapture? Thankfully we all got sent back when God got sick of all of us being there at the same time. It was crowded and bonkers.

Everyone uninstalled Steam because the PS Triple was coming out

Man, steams user base has more than tripled since I started using it… and I thought I came in a bit late.

Shit Steam has gone up almost 30x since I started using it and even I feel like I was late to the party.

Using it in 2004 was like a dream. It was already incredible to have all my valve games in one place that I can redownload whenever (overnight slowly on DSL) without having any discs and it just worked. Didn’t have to insert a disc just to play the installed game via activation, didn’t have to clone the disc and mount the iso to pretend the same. It just worked and has just worked ever since.

And looking for some good low latency servers to play (CS at the time for me) before even opening the game…only to have to choose 150-200 ping ones with the fun mods I wanted to play and be booted from them from for having high ping 🤣

I was also using it then and most people hated it at the time. People generally saw it as useless DRM they had to install to play the games they had already paid for. The biggest complaint was needing to install it and register Counter-Strike to get the 1.6 update.

I joined Steam when I bought Portal on disk from a store and couldn’t play it without signing up for Steam and installing Steam just to play my game.
