Give your friend a "Guest Pass" for chirstmas

That would be Valve, the guys behind Half-Life 1 and 2 and the upcoming Zombie game + Portal + Teamfortress 2. All of which looks absolutely fantastic!

Zombie game? Never heard of that.

well I used to be one of those aluminium-wrapped-salad-bowl wearing gits thinking that steam was spying on all the mp3, movies, pirated games etc that I didnt have on my computer anyway. But that was version 1. As I understand it the first version of steam ****ed so bad, esecial with 4 hour limited dial-up, that Valve couldnt fix it. So they scrapped it and rewrote it from scratch. It would have been real difficult to get RO out wothout something like steam. Now I find its fine to use, doesnt rape my hard drive, ram etc, and is convenient and cheap to get games from.

The first five posts of this thread read so much like an advert (albeit one with horrible English) it's scary.

LMAO!! I was gonna say, when steam first came out.... it ****ING BLEW ASS!!

It was ****, really buggy, always freezing or crashing, friends list always down...

(ya congrats to valve for making this piece of ****!)

I would have rather had RO on its own, without ****ty steam!

I use to hate steam too when it originally came out.

With time, it got pretty good...

If it wasn't for steam... I wouldnt even have known about this great game...
I am pretty sure that a good amount of RO:OST players (who did not know of the beta days) found out about RO thanks to steam (CS, DOD, CS:S, DOD:S players... or whatever other game... more games, more advertising...

Right now... I am loving steam.
