Steam Release - will it work?

[jabberwock95]

Just thought i'd find out what was the general mood as to whether the steam release would work out or not.

 

[Gorgon]

I chose the first option.

Time will tell

 

[Tek]

chose number 4, its a good idea, but it's not ready for a game this anticipated.

#1

preloading will take the strain out

 

[rob.derosa]

#1 or #2, can't really decide.

Hmmm.... going for #1... now Steam better deliver

I'm sure it'll work fine, and people will be enjoying HL2 in minutes!

I dunno what kinda connection you are on, but I want it

 

[jabberwock95]

OK, maybe minutes was a bit of an exaggeration. I'm buying HL2 retail anyway. What I really meant was minutes after it's properly released (if pre-loading works the way it should).

 

[Sporky]

I figure it'll be a tight run thing, but hopefully...

*fingers crossed* Come on valve, we're rooting for you! :thumbs:

 

[Shockwave]

Um it will work fine as long as they have the bandwith...Hl1 singleplayer worked great downloading it off of steam and playing, no differences at all.

I think that just like with the Steam release, Valve will have much more demand than they expected. After 5 years they still didn't realize they own. Too bad.
