MODERATORS
People hated Steam and were very skeptical initially. Respect was earned over time
They were literally selling physical game boxes with a code and an installer for Steam in it instead of the game.
Steams initial tactics are as scummy as Epic's. The reason they don't need them anymore is because of their semi monopoly.
Those DVDs usually had the game backup files on it too, so you didn't even need to download most physical copies you purchased. And I can still download the original CS game I bought like 20 years ago. Seems like a good deal since that game cost me like $40 in store.
