Everything started with this game. From the original Half-Life in 1998 to this project, it can only be described as majestic. Imagine a company completely messed up with copyright claims, unable to sell a single physical copy on the market. Then Gaben said, ‘We’ll sell these online,’ and that’s how Steam was created. This is not just a game, boys, it’s the beginning of a new age, a new generation, a new era of modern FPS games. This title proved that FPS games can tell a story, carry feelings, and evoke emotions. It is the reason we have Counter-Strike, Valorant, Unreal Engine, and most story-rich FPS games today. If this game hadn’t existed, we wouldn’t have Steam or many of the video games we love.
