Monthly fee

[lordoftheroot]

I was looking at buying Half-life 2 by Steam and was thinking if there was a monthy fee version and a version where i buy it all at once or you have to pay $30 for bronze and a monthy fee. You see what i mean.

There's no monthly subscription right now.

And they will only make one if they feel they can make enough content to justify 10$ a month.

well there was talk of a subscription service a couple of months ago but no details have been given regarding it.

surely a subscription service is best for those aren't fans the HL series and just want to as i call it "rent" Valve's games for a period of time.

anyway we should find out soon if this service is going ahead by perhaps hearing about the pricing and policy for it

Thanks, since most computer games have weird copyright protection on the cd i am forced to use no-cd patchs because i am running off Windows XP 64x beta. Any way i thought steam would be a good way to avoid that whole thing. so thanks again for clearing that up. one more thing if i format my drive will i have a registation code or something to get my game back?

If it's registered to your steam account it should stay there.

if u purchase the game through Steam or buy a subcription, it will be tied to ur Steam account.. so after u format and re-install everything and log back into Steam, it will re-download whatever package u originally bought

pple are suggesting backing up the gfc files by burning them onto CD/DVD...but its not necessary

edit: doHHH!
got beat by a second
