No many of us left at this stage, people come and go, some got banned and disappeared, some gave up on PC gaming and so on.... Seen a lot of changes over the years to the steam platform. Mostly good changes tho, seen some failing on valves part e.g Steam machines, steam link, controller but otherwise it been a good ride.

At first I hated steam, like most of us did. We were forced to use steam to play our games but overtime, I got used to it. Loved steam at one point, loved steam so much I won't touch anything else that wasn't steam, missed out on alot of good games due to being a steam fanboy, thankfully I grew out of that love tho.

Steam was the king for for well over a decade and rightly so, but over the last couple of years I have noticed valve slipping, not only in the cost of games, but allowing quality control to slip and allowing other stores to muscle in and taking the limelight away from steam. And sadly I have even noticed valve not even trying to fight back and allowing we gamers to fight upon ourselves instead.

But otherwise, its been fun.

To be fair, I haven't played steam a lot anymore. I honestly don't have many games compared to a lot. I became a blizzard / battle.net fan boy back in 2004-2005 and got absorbed into world of warcraft and all of those things.

These days I play destiny, diablo, hearthstone, and a few others. Lol

That would be Half-Life or CS for most of us.

So steam was just counter strike before? when did other games arrive?
