Experience Half-Life 2 all over again, with a brand-new commentary mode, improved graphics and gameplay options, Steam Workshop support, and more. We're also bringing back the art book, and have a new documentary featuring the original development team.
It was the reason I downloaded Steam, and back in those days I was pissed that I had the CD and the box and the manual AND they wanted me to go online and download more than a gig of data on my crappy dial up.
I got the game in the morning and I only got to play it later that afternoon… and I swore I’d never use Steam for anything else again.
Fast forward 20 years and probably a few thousand bucks later 🤦🏻♂️
I had dial-up through my Mom’s work’s VPN at the time and couldn’t even sign in to Steam with it, so I had to use an AOL 30-day trial just to be able to play the game.
When both the trial and Steam’s Offline mode timing ran out, I had sufficient motivation to learn how to crack WEP so I could borrow the neighbor’s WiFi

Yeah, back then Valve was just a shitty publisher insisting on their own shitty DRM infested launcher.
