A game has never made me cry, but movies and shows make me cry all the time. Even the most emotional game just doesn’t come close to other mediums.

That’s quite similar to me. I got HL2 Jan. 2005. I played Guild Wars instead of WoW because I didn’t want to pay for a sub.

Did you make your account for Half-Life 2? My account is the same age, and that’s the game that introduced me to Steam.

Average Joe doesn’t use extensions.

I’m pretty sure they only do this if you have 0 games and haven’t logged in for a very long time. If you own even 1 game, you’re safe.
