Steam Beta Ends, Full Version Ships Next Week

The Steam Beta has delivered several Valve games and popular Half-Life MODs to over 300,000 gamers, and will come to a close Tuesday evening (Pacific Daylight Time). The first full version of Steam, Valve's broadband platform for the delivery and management of digital content, will launch at 11 am PDT on Wednesday. Set up installers for the full version, which will be free of charge to existing Half-Life and Counter-Strike players, will be available from www.steampowered.com and leading game sites. Anyone interested in hosting the installer or becoming a Steam Service Provider, please email [email protected].

Well they need to have Steam ready for HL2, so it's logical it'd end sometime this month.

 

[AgentXen]

So what does this mean?
We have to download a New Steam, and re-register?
I take it we will ned the cd-keys right?
couse i lost all my Cds and cd-keys.
Thats the main reason i had to buy Half-Life about 8 times
I keep loosing the cd-keys.... damn...

 

[Joneleth]

Yeah, you'll need a CD key. That's it, though.

dont make shit up, erik said the new videos would be out soemtime after steam was out of beta, he never said any specific dates.

dont get peoples hopes up.

dont make shit up, erik said the new videos would be out soemtime after steam was out of beta, he never said any specific dates.

Erik said "The next step will be to release the remaining three Half-Life 2 movies, fix the remaining issues with the Riot Shield in Counter-Strike, and any remaining issues with Steam. This will happen almost immediately after the Steam beta ends."

So... it sounds like its pretty likely that we'll see the remaining movies next week, though "immediately" may not mean Wednesday.

if your talking to me, he said the exact same thing that the guy who made this post did, it was just copied and pasted onto here.

Perhaps Steam coming out of beta means a possible 'gold' date around the same time? I'm hopeful.
