Who remembers XFIRE?

[Jackhammer (Wholf)]

I used to use XFIRE back in the days, who else and what are your thoughts about it now?

[Barney, from Black Mesa.]

No, but I remember LimeWire & AOL Messenger.

Me too haha.

I vaguely remember it. I think I can remember elements of the UI, I think which were cool.

and now it's discord, i hate xfire but at lest it was useful unlike discord

what's wrong with Discord? I think it's better then Teamspeak and other communication platforms...

From what i remember, XFIRE was a recording/communication platform for gamers back in the days before Steam.

Yeah, it was and a little bit more than that. Back then, it also had a section where you can download game demos on there plus you can add custom skins you want to XFIRE. Man, what a lifetime ago. I've used it a quite a bit in my early teen days of Call of Duty before Steam came along.
They did also have its own website including a forum. If I remember right, they had a front page that lists out the number of users on XFIRE and the top games being played the most. WoW back then was the number 1 game that was being played the most.

think of it as steam today, xfire had alot the community features of steam at its time in 2006 when i used it. but steam implemented these features in 2007 and xfire slowly started to die away because even in 2006 and 2007 steam was still big.

i liked xfire was fun, had a chat messenger, screenshots for your games, play time tracker for everything like mods,games even your retail games. the steam chat was bit buggy back then so i used msn and xfire to chat and mIRC for pug matches for cs 1.6.

If im not wrong on the person, i think Sodapoppin start streaming for the first time on Xfire. I remember him ending his streams with the pony song and then going to bed, sleeping with the stream still on live.

I wish I remembered my old xfire name. I think the Waybackmachine must have some snapshots. I am wondering how many gametime I've on Xfire. Combine it with Steam and it can give an accurate playtime across my life.

MSN + Xfire were good times.
