How did you hear about steam? - Games

When i bought counter strike source from stores, i had to install steam. It was about 2004-2006(?)

When Half-life 2 came out but i didn't know hl2 came with hl2 dm and css so i didn't know about steam until half a year after when i was cleaning my pc.

I saw someone I'm subscribed to on youtube having something called "my steam acoount name... so I googled it... later on, the same person favourited Meet the spy, and that's when I found TF2 and started my business with steam

I googled about counter strike which I knew very little of and found the steam page in 07.

[QUOTE=ADT;23754341]Got it with Team Fortress 2 (and later Orange Box)[/QUOTE] Same here Except I heard about Steam before that, I forgot how I found out...

Counter-Strike 1.6

A guy at school who liked CS:S told me about it

It downloaded when I bought The Orange Box in a store. Last time I've ever bought a PC game as physical media.

[QUOTE=CounterTunes;23753935]I heard about steam when I was reading a twitter post about the game Team Fortress 2 and was stupid enough to download the dedicated server pack thinking I was going to get it. Oh boy I was dumb. So how did you find out about it?[/QUOTE] Back when they offered select CS 1.5 players (one being me) to beta test the first version of it. Man was it a piece of crap. But seeing a new version of Counter-Strike with improved graphics and the famas/galil was just nuts! This was YEARS ago. I think 2002 was when the beta was out. R.I.P WAN! By the way, WAN is how us old kids used to play valves games online! :D

I got it when I bought the original counterstrike. It wasn't a digital distribution service quite yet then. It just gave you updates for valve's games. I got HL2, left steam alone for a while, and one day I went to play HL2 again and discovered the store tab. I thought to myself [B]"Well, this is knew."[/B]

When I bought the Orange Box. :v:

When I heard about CSS

It came with my half-life.

I got Portal and was like "What the fuck is this shit, I don't want to download anything! I jsut want to play my game!" It was worth it.

to get HL2 and CS:S, after i cba to buy Condition Zero, and CS was getting a bit boring in the lead up to CS:S so i was sorta forced to get Steam

I first saw it by my dad, when he was playing Half-Life 2 in 2004. I got it myself 2007

I got it when my friend torrented hl2, and I wanted to actually play the game without disappearing models.

My dad bought an ATI card that came with a promo for HL2 and my dad made me a Steam account since he knew I was into gaming and he wasn't.

A friend of mine showed me his steam profile

[QUOTE=matt54;23879797]It was always a digital distribution service. From my knowledge i was always able to download CS and TFC. (first games put on the platform)[/QUOTE] Well ya, but it was later on that non-valve games were added. That's when steam became a big deal.

My dad is such a bore.

My friend used to play Counter Strike and I eventually got Steam for that.

My big brother had it.

I was in a LAN CS1.6 clan, and while looking for stuff for my server I found GMod, got amazed, and got the CSS pack and GMod.
