Praise steam all you want but WON was still superior for mp half life mods.
I still play an hl mod that has been around for years and 90% of the times a user is dropped is because of steam.
- GrandMasterBirt 15y agoI never used WON. The thing is I like Stardock's Impulse. All the benefits none of the crap. The problem with impulse is that steam has the nice steam APIs for matchmaking and such that require steam. Can't use it if you sell on another store. Its the vendor-lock-in. I bought a game only later to realize I can't play with anyone I know (steam vs impulse online) and thus... well... can't win vs that.
- pflats 15y agoYeah, but that's a specific edge case. Half-Life was written years before Steam was probably even conceived. WON was built-in from the start, while ValveGUI/Steam was retrofitted into an existing architecture.
