   It was basically forced on us when CS 1.6 required it.

Huh, they're the one who developed this video game in the first place

CS was a half life mod that valve bought, so it's half-true.

Reality is almost everyone abandoned PC gaming for a decade+ in favour of consoles.

Valve and steam were the only real player, which is why they're in the position they're in.

I took an shining to GOG, but the the Linux situation just reaffirmed how I buy my games.
