Half-Life's Steamy Future [Sep 07, 2003, 1:14 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A post on Planet Half-Life
(thanks Frans) reproduces some quotes from Valve's Erik Johnson posted to a Steam
forum thread discussing the role of Steam in the future of Half-Life. Here
are the excerpts:
There will no longer be a WonID system, it will be replaced by the SteamID system.
When we convert the userbase to Steam, a single WonID will be valid for all of the products.
If you're purchased a product from us at retail, you're going to have access to all of our products via Steam.
No, you do not have to pay for Steam.
That is correct, you'll have to have Steam installed to play the most current version of Half-Life.
Hrm? What appears to be the problem? I'm don't really know alot about debugging steam as I've had no problems, but here are some suggestions.
Can't boot
-Wipe it off, clear reg entries and reinstall.
Can't connect
-Turn off firewalls (XP has a native one), but wait. I have a firewall and have no problems. Hmmm.
-Decativate programs that prevent other programs from accessing the net.
Can't play games or access movies
-Sorry the Steam beta is over. No more content is accessible till they reset. No one can access it.
