"There are still a lot of people who are 'anti-Steam,' but now it is completely mandatory to play all of Valve's back catalog," said Chris Deeming, lead editor of fan site HalfLife2.net. "People have learned to live with it, and most actually quite like it now."

hip hip hurray for Chris_D...can i get your autograph??

 

[Mattigus]

2 million preorders * 50 bucks = 100 million dollars. Same as Halo 2.

Bare in mind that Valve makes more money with Steam sales. Go Valve.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Haha, good times people, peace love and rock n roll :thumbs:

 

[brink's]

2 million + the retail preorders

 

[blahblahblah]

[Mr. Redundant]

[The Mullinator]

Chris_D was always famous to me! :naughty:

 

[Bad^Hat]

World famous on hl2.net

 

[Naudian]

Hmm....Gamespot is right about people liking steam now but....
I use steam, and you know why i like it? Partly beause it doesnt used to throw ads and bs in your face! But lately its been popping up with ads for hl2 n stuff....which is FINE. But this is scary because it could mean that in the future, steam could turn into one of those bs holes that bombards you with crap youre not intrested in and ads ads ads and yea...You know what i mean...Im just hoping it wont turn into crap...like..MSN...or something.

oh and
Yay Chris_D...eeming!

 

[Subz]

surprising, HALFLIFE2 doesn't have 1/50th the advertisement of HALO2 or GTA:SA and thats crazy sales.

just imagine if HL2 it had M$'s crazy halo2 campaign(a little too crazy..i saw halo2 adds in grocery stores) behind it.....
