I was pissed off when HL2 required installing Steam.
I didn’t know that was the least awful variant of that particular affront.
Don’t tell me ‘but now there’s bugfixes!’ like I never updated HL1 with bare executables. Fuckin’ Doom had multiple relevant versions. They thought 1.666 would nail it down… and then grudgingly released 1.7 a month later.
You still had to install the game with a disc most times.
Not on any console older than Xbox/PS2.
Not on consoles. I just bought tony hawk pro skater 2 and popped that shit right in my ps1
Not in the cartridge era! Just pop it in and play.
Oh I’ve been an exclusive pc player.

I’m glad others have pointed out this is pretty bullshit. If it’s a great game then it’s good. If the game was buggy you’re shit out of luck, stuck with a broken mess with no hope of it being fixed.
