WON to be Lost

[Jul 15, 2004, 7:32 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Steam News offers details on the shutdown of the WON authentication system, which has been superseded by Steam:

Starting July 26th the shutdown of the WON authentication servers will begin. This process will be completed on July 31st. This means players will no longer be able to access Internet features of Valve games, such as Counter-Strike 1.5, using the WON authentication servers. Users can continue using Valve games on the Steam service by downloading the Steam installer and setting up a Steam account. For more information visit www.steampowered.com. Counter-Strike 1.5 players will be upgraded to Counter-Strike 1.6 free of charge through Steam.

Look at the date people, its july 2004, valve has supported their game, HL, for SIX FULL YEARS, Go get a copy of "Sin" , a FPS released around the same time, and check out how much ritual does to keep it alive.. Noone even remembers the damn game anymore.. WON is a service, it costs money to keep it running. they've had it for six years, eventually its gotta go, face the fact, computer games cant be supported forever, Valve however has decided to port their games over to a new and better system, where they will run future games too, thus giving new life to these old games and mods.
