Is there still a market left for Halflife 2? by Anonymous Coward · 2004-09-17 06:59 · Score: 0, Troll

Mod me troll if you want, but this is a serious question: Is there still a market left for this game?

Seriously?

After years of delay, and after seeing Doom3 totally flop, I can't bring myself to get excited about this game. When you throw in "Steam", I'm downright turned off by the prospect of shoveling out $50+ for this.

If they had released this game a year ago, sans steam, I'd have been all over it. But after all the anticlimactic hype, I'm just not interested anymore. Maybe I'd snag a copy if it ends up selling for $20-$30, but at $50-60, you can count me out.

Am I alone in this thought?
