Can’t beat the price of free. No parts of the game are missing, just for all of you patient folks.

Quick note: It is a remaster of the original game with the base game and the DLC expansions that were released for it, visual updates and a higher level cap and possible other tweaks. Some reports of stuttering and poor performance.

    non-Valve games were starting to depend on having Steam installed

    The problem was/is their policy of allowing the non-Valve games to also require their own storefront launcher alongside Steam.

    There was that one dark period of “Games For Windows Live” on Steam, but those issues are pretty rare nowadays.

      That’s also an issue, but them becoming the default provider and having such a huge market share isn’t something that players should be happy about, they might be managed by someone that cares about players but Gaben could die tomorrow and get replaced by someone that doesn’t. Competition should be celebrated even if it’s not perfect.

        Competition needs to do better than simply existing to be celebrated.

        If I open a storefront that costs twice as much as Steam with none of the features you wouldn’t support it just because “it’s competition”.
