Re: SEV on Steam?
have you tried steam recently?
I used to be a complainer about it, and to tell you the truth the early versions sucked, it sucks when you are forced to install it along with a game (such as when you buy HL2, read link I did in previous posts), it just plain sucks in any way to isntall it apart from:
installing from the internet, if you just do the normal download of steam, it installs very quickly and easily, you sign in, and then you can download easily and for free, any games you have already bought.
Personally it took ages for me to install HL2 with steam, and register it, I hated the process, but once it is there, BLISS!
converting games, like if you have HL classic installed, and install steam, and try to convert it, that is hell, and from what you said, I am guessing that is what you mean.. but it is something you only have to do the once.
Once the game is registered with steam, it is brilliant, if you get a new pc, all you have to do is download steam, type in account info, and double click the game, within mins (providing fast connection, it is all playable with patches configured..
not to try and be bad, but I was such a whiner saying how much I hated it, but once you realise how good it is, then you can understand it truly... infact, I will try right now, I am going to get a new pc, install steam, and play a game, I am going to record a video of it all right now so no one can complain about it!
as for everyone saying about going out of business, thinking about disaster.... just forget it, i will get slack for saying this, but we can deal with that whenever that ever happens...
