There is one negative of steam:Â Individual packages can be cut up even further.
When Half-life 1 launched: any mod of it was freely available. Now: TFC and Counter-strike are considered separate packages. Half-life 2’s Deathmatch is actually a separate component from HL2, and was not included with Orange Box.
However, owners of Nvidia or ATI graphics cards can download HL2’s deathmatch (and Lost Coast) for free.
