Last straw sucked up all the steam

I am done with Steam... I remember when you'd buy Half-Life and log into planet halflife and download the latest mod and get some good ol' fashioned gaming on the won network. But those days are gone. Now, with the development of Half life 2 they charge the normal price for the game, but then on top of that they charge around $20.00 for every mod that comes out! this includes classics like DoD. I am really pissed. Valve is also making all these new mods too like Ragdoll Kung fu and a new one I just saw today darwinia (which looked really good in the trailer)... so Valve is going against everything that made half life good, which was the free mods that were made for it. Personally I am sick of their greed, they're just milking the consumers and I'm through with it.

Eh most of the games are free, and when you do have to buy a game (like DoD) $20 isn't too bad. However, whether DoD itself was worth that much, that's a different story =P. I got bored of it in like 2 days.

Valve designed Steam. It's Valve's game distribution system. That .gif has always been my favorite example of how Steam updates like to screw with you.
