Steam is a pile of garbage. Sure, let steam be the new WON for HL2, but please leave HL1 alone. And please oh please, don't go shutting down the WON servers for this. I find the Steam client annoying and clunky. I'd rather just load up gamespy3d and find a server, and connect. But steam adds 20 more menus that aren't needed.
Steam provides new content faster. Has anyone over at Valve taken a software development class? The faster you add new things, the faster you create new bugs. Once a game is released, there shouldn't be any patches for it if they tested it properly. But now, they could patch it everyday and people won't notice. Horay for software engineering. Blah.
