        I remember. CS is what gave them the weight to do it. Now mindless parent funded plebes decide what sells, and we are seeing it in the market.

        No your not, I was playing CS when steam started to roll out, But that was years ago and valve has taken steam along way from being that piece of shit it was.

        Valve has done good by the community so far, they always have sales on new releases within a few months of the launch. It takes nearly a year before you see that in brick and mortar.

        Now with there’s no real shock that EA is also going to have third party content. However EA fucks up as much as they succeed so I really wonder how this will pan out for them.
