Part of the problem was how poorly steam ran when it was first introduced
yeah at the time you were forced into it. the won servers were shut down and most peoples computers werent good enough to play CS and have this clunky software running in the background at the same time. it worked but alt-tabbing back then was a gong show and you definitely had the performance hit.
i played CS daily then so the first day was a shit show and I dont think I got much time in that day. mostly just trying to get connected...the servers were overloaded.
That brings back memories. I used to play ARC on WON. TEN prior to that. Anyone remember Kali? I think it’s still running.
I still remember that meme with the Valve gear fucking a guy in the ass. Steam was not well received.
