My steam id is 10###, was required to play half life multi-player / counter strike.
Steam came out 1 year 2 months before Half Life 2.
They didn't really 'bribe' people, it was more to do with 1.6 CS only working on steam and patching was done via steam.
- rangibaby 9y agoRegistering any of these boxed games on Steam got you access to all of them: HL, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress Classic. + some Valve made mods: Quake DM, and Ricochet. That's a pretty good "carrot" to use Steam if you ask me.
- adamrezich 9y agoStill waiting for Ricochet VR.
- philliphaydon 9y agoThat may have changed after I got steam. I only had Half Life, and Counter Strike was free when I started playing so I only got HL / CS. I didn't get the others free until HL2 came out...
- rangibaby 9y agoThis is what you should have got with any retail HL CD key: https://steamdb.info/sub/1/apps/ https://steamdb.info/sub/1/apps/ I can confirm it worked with HL1, CS Retail and Blue Shift keys.
