Does anyone else have games preloaded that they never bought?

[DoctorWeeTodd]

For some reason DOD:S is listed under "My Games" and claims it's preloaded but I never bought it. My friend seems to have the same thing going on for him. Is this some sort of unannounced upcoming announcement?

Just because it says Preloaded doesn't mean you have bought the game. It just means you have some of the local game content, probably shared with another game.

 

[DoctorWeeTodd]

Why is that? Why do I have that content in the first place?

 

[Xendance]

Because another game might require it to run properly.

When you buy Opposing Force, you'll be forced to preload Half Life because Opposing Force is based of that.

If you then want to buy it later, you purchase it and you're done. No downloading.

It also often comes up after you have downloaded a demo, played a free trail or free weekend.

Or if you've brought a special edition box set. My Episode 1 disc pre-loads Half-Life Source.

That is because Episode One comes with Half Life Deathmatch: Source :cheese:

I have the beta mod Half Life 2 Wars and it made DOD:S preloaded.

Probably because you are a pedophile. Or just listen to one of the nut jobs above me, my idea sounds better.

I had it for the longest time for HL, had CS and CZ for it. Got it eventually.
