I can't find it in stores anywhere now, it being 7 or so years old now. Guess I'll have to wait for a few decades until i can download it off www.the-underdogs.org

mortiz said:Can't you buy it off of Steam anyway?
I'm thinking about... never. The retail packages are vanishing because Vivendi will soon lose rights to distribute them. Chances are, they'll appear again after August 30th. The only thing that's going to stop Steam distribution will be if Valve go under. Frankly, i'd rather see a healthy valve flogging Half-Life for the rest of eternity than a dead valve from who's corpse people can pick yesterdays classics off for a bit of free gaming.JellyWorld said:I can't find it in stores anywhere now, it being 7 or so years old now.

czrsink said:Really? That's it's third version as well. 1 Was just Half Life and Op Force, 2 added CS to the mix, then 3 gave you all those as before, but with Blue Shift and CS:Retail (I think).
czrsink said:If you got the Limited Edition version of Half Life 2 at retail, you could download all those games (bar Blue-Shift) for FREE, likewise if you bought HL2 Silver or Gold on Steam. Blue Shift is the only title you'd really need to 'buy' as it's not compatible with Steam...
Which reminds me, you'd probably need and old version of Half Life then, in order to get it to work...hmm.

I believe as far as books go, it's 100 Years after the death of the author... I wonder how it all applies to Software :/Ahnteis said:Officially, corporations have copyright for a LONG time. Think like 100 years long.

Unofficially, there's little chance you'll get in trouble for distributing a game that is so old it doesn't show up on shore shelves anywhere.

Yeah, I read somewhere that Blueshift used an advanced HL engine, but HL has been updated so many times since then and went another way, that they difference between both games is too big.Devvo said:Actually it's because it uses a modified game engine and is not compatible with Steam.
EDIT: LINK!!!
