Half-Life 2. steam was mandatory to play it and the shitstorm around it was something else. But I learned quickly, that youbcpuld just switch languages to not only download the original version but also the uncut one. Loved steam ever since.

Wow, that unlocked a few memories.
Man, so many had one of the Half-Life games as their first game on Steam. How everyone hated Steam in the beginning, and now, most seem to love it. In fact in Gaming, Steam is one of our saviors it seems.
