I'm not going to deny I have a stack of CD's stashed away with a tonne of games that came out at that time. I always bought physical editions of most games back then. And with the lack of games like Dungeon Siege II in my early activation I clearly didn't link it to steam.I'm so old, I fought steam (and anything like it) when it first came out. I was not gonna download a game, or let some system control my gaming! I was a physical media purist, still am for my movies and music. I still have about 100 games on CD/DVD sitting behind me as I type.
I didn't bother with steam because it would be running in the background and well I played competitive RTCW ET back then the fewer things running in the background the better performance, also After I beat half-life and quake and a few other games and ran out of things to play a few times which I think was the late 1990s and I think steam so it wasn't until 2007 when I opened an account with Steam. the PC and the internet gaming changed my life in a good way otherwise I probably wouldn't be alive or maybe in jail heheI suspect the majority of us old farts created an account for HL2, as that was steams first real 'hit' to draw people in.

Honestly thats a pretty good point. High School I worked in a restaurant and bought my own computer from that so I could play EverQuest and other games. Mom basically had no say in how I used it since I bought it out right. Probably would have gotten into a lot more trouble than I did in my highschool years. Expensive computer like that paid in cash would have bought a lot of drugs/alcohol or been the source of other potential troubles instead I wanted to get my money's worth out of it. Not going to claim I never got into trouble in the end but it was a lot less than most of the friends I hung out with....the PC and the internet gaming changed my life in a good way otherwise I probably wouldn't be alive or maybe in jail hehe
