Steam Created 20 years ago2004-07-30 16:16:53 UTC by VOX

I hate steam. It sucks. Valve sucks for using it and disabling WON. You know why? I got it and installed it, only to hear my CD key is already in use. So I go to the help page. They tell me if I want to reset the CD key I have to mail (POSTAL MAIL!) the fricking jewel case. Then they say they won't be able to return the jewel case back to me! That is bullsh*t if I ever saw it. I played on steam before, but I have made so many attempts in the past to get it working I have, like, 5 accounts. When I did play on it I had pings of 5000 or more! Now that is major suckage. I'm sticking to Gamespy Arcade. Valve just lost another customer.

amen brother.

I've heard more people with problems like that. Yeah, it's irritating...

But hey, rather a buggy betaish Steam now and a good-working Steam when HL2 is out, than a buggy Steam later... After all, Steam is being worked on, and lots of the first errors are already dealt with.

But still, not fun for the like of yours, no...

Don't blame VALVe for the serial number issue. Blame the pirate who stole your copy of the game by taking the serial.

I have had steam for ages and it has never crashed for me.

Same here to. No issues. Had it since it was first released to the public...

Steam is just better. A new generation, and RabidMonkey777 tells true(if you actualy have original copy).

Steam is sweet! it worked fine for me since day 1.
