Steam Update Today
[Sep 16, 2003, 09:59 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments

Admitting the release over the weekend was "pretty rocky," The Steam News Page (thanks David Cronk) says that today Valve "will release new installers which include the cache files for all of the games available via Steam (Day of Defeat, Team Fortress Classic, the dedicated server, etc). If you haven't already done so, please use the installer that includes Counter-Strike and Half-Life." The update goes on to point out: "We know that the conversion process has been anything but smooth for many of our users. We're going to get this fixed. We've done our best to support the Half-Life community over the past 5 years, and we're still committed to doing whatever it takes to make the community happy."

You have to wonder how it's possible that a company like Valve, that did everything right up to now, i.e., kept quiet for 5 years and just worked on HL2, not making anybody anybody else's bitch, being incredibly generous answering questions from the press and fans, loads of in-game movies, creating a sequel that looks to maybe even surpass the original--how they could so totally screw up what looked to be an incredible sure thing. It's because with HL2 they could. There's no way they could have put Steam over on the public without the power of HL2 behind it. You gotta give them credit for taking the risk. Gambling something like HL2 on this Steam racket.

No, I can't say for sure they screwed up, but it's sure looking that way. We can only wait and see if their gamble pays off or if they ruined one of the greatest events in gaming history.
