    Well, I'm in a Single-Player kind of mood. Maybe I'll just learn to code new Half-Life weapons and go through my WON SP copy again with new guns.

    And I know Steam is free, but why did they replace WON with it? WON worked fine, and Steam is probably taking from some HL2 development, unless someone else works on it entirely.

    steam, when it works, is superior to won. It's probably easier for them as well and they need it for their own good (that's how ALL companies work)

    It's just they never seem prepared for those large updates...

    Well, steam offers me two great possibilities:

    1. Update normally (takes about half an hour), then crash at 99%, saying that steam is not availiable <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    2. Going into logon mode saying my account wouldn?t exist. when i ry to create a new one, it says its offline, great!

    I luv Steam!

    I thought the idea of steam was to have small, stepped updates to negate the need for large downloads.

    I'm just glad I've got dsl now, <3 to all 56k'ers out there.

    Read the thread title. You think we are going to be constructive when we can't play our fav game?

    I like steams front end, I just don't like its big arse.

    still, why not give us the option to download the update normally?

    If even one person from our clan had got the file, we could have shared it between us and made the game.
    as it stands no one gets anything.

    the system sucks, pure and simple.

    Hey, now... Maybe, since everyone's getting this problem, we can all start a 1.04 game...

    At least before this thread gets locked.

    Whoohoo! STEAM isn't working! I might actually get to play one of my other games, as NS, The Specialists and Battlegrounds mods were eating up significant amounts of free time. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Geuss its just tired of being bossed around without a say.
    This is step 1 in world domination.
    Step 2 is steam goes retail.
    Step 3 is another Carrot Top movie.

    question for sonic: what's worse, having so little to do that you wanna complain about your favorite game not working, or having even LESS to do so that you have to complain about the complainers <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
