Man I hated Steam when it first hit. The only reason I got it to begin with was because TFC was switching from WON to Steam and we had to have Steam to continue playing. This was during the height of TFC days, so I had no choice but to accept it. Then they kinda ruined (arguably) TFC and I didn't really play much after that. So I always blamed Steam for killing one of my favorite games and didn't really use it much after that. I always kept the client running anyway so I could chat with my old TFC buddies but never used it for games up until more recently. If I had known then what it would become, I would have gladly embraced it. I still miss TFC though.
