I am an avid steam user today, but I'm still bitter about valve requiring you to connect to steam back when Half Life 2 came out to "decrypt" the install from CD. I bought it launch day and couldn't actually play it for 2 days because steam was essentially DDOS'd
I remember when they shut down the WON servers and forced me to migrate to steam. I could have had a 4 or 5 digit steam account number if not for resisting the migration.
R.I.P. counter strike 1.5.
To be fair, Steam was terrible on launch. IIRC the friend system didn't work at all for months.
You'll still have the email as username which newer users don't have.
