That is genius. We should post it on Steam's forums.

It's my fake internet account because I didn't want it connected to my name.

Reading the first few pages of this thread is funny.

TPR: "I will NEVER buy a game on Steam"

The Orange Box debate. Do we know if/how that was resolved with the people that bought it?

How in love with Valve Leisher was, and how wrong he was about everything. . .

I resisted a long time, but I still think entire libraries will go away if Portland (or wherever it is) gets taken out by a tsunami.

But it's just too hard to patch old games manually, any more. Everyone just uses Steam.

I don't remember my stance on the Orange Box. I remember when I bought it for like $20 (from Target), it was a hell of a good value, for what came in it.

Quick googling makes it look like Valve's stance was "Fuck you. You shouldn't have bought the software from there." No mention of Valve working with the customers beyond getting their US version of the Orange Box working after they bought it. Because it wouldn't at first.

We're past the honeymoon stage.

I love them for Steam. I'm not a fan of how they stopped developing games. I want more Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, etc.

Steam award winners named.

PUBG won game of the year? Fucking really? People are so fucking stupid. "Hey, let's vote for the game rife with cheaters and that's already been outdone in its short history by Fortnite!"

Witcher III should have won GotY, not just best environment.

Best Developer: CDPR? Better fucking believe that shit.

Best Alternate History: Assassin's Creed Odyssey? Never played it, but Wolfenstein II's alternate history is the shit.

Anyone open their Red Envelope? I got 2,000 credits, which will buy me a badge.

Retires video business

I never got much into that side of the store. What I did see didn't offer much in the way of savings compared to other digital stores. It also wasn't as convenient, as say, DLing a movie on my iPad to watch on the plane.

I hate this meme, but it speaks about my reality here.
