Bucket Posted June 7, 2007 http://www.steampowered.com/ati_offer1a/ If you have time between hating Valve for no reason and going fucking yourself, sign up for a Steam account and receive HL2:Deathmatch and Lost Coast for free. All you need is an ATI Radeon card. 0 Share this post Link to post

Lamneth Posted June 7, 2007 Too bad I've already had both since they were released. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted June 7, 2007 I had a Radeon 9700, but it broke and I shot a few holes in it. Can I still get free stuff? Wait, I already have those two games anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
Snarboo Posted June 8, 2007 I like how Valve only caters to 50% of the game community. Then again, that's a pretty crappy offer anyway. :/ 0 Share this post Link to post
caco_killer Posted June 8, 2007 I already have them, but Lost Coast doesn't cost money. Also, what the hell is a technology trap? 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted June 8, 2007 I suppose they were technically free already, but you needed HL2 to play either of them. I guess it's like the free invitations they give away for Counter-Strike and such. I don't know if they'll actually do anything for the GeForce crowd (e.g. myself). I think they're in bed with ATI anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted June 8, 2007 I still have a 9600XT, but I couldn't care less about Valve. 0 Share this post Link to post

I even uninstalled it and then reinstalled a few months later and it still gave me no issues. So I still don't get what the problem with Steam is. It's not like it stays on your PC permanently. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted June 9, 2007 Yeah, but when I did have it on my computer, for some reason my internet kept disconnecting and reconnecting every 5 minutes, bugging the Hell out of me. After installing and uninstalling various things, I realised it was Steam's fault and had to delete it. I don't know what the fuck that was about. I guess it didn't like my firewall or router. 0 Share this post Link to post

kristus Posted June 10, 2007 I have an ATI Radeon 9500 that I bought used from a friend. Does that count? I could download them and look at the files. SInce I don't have HL2 anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
leileilol Posted June 11, 2007 If it's any Radeon, yes. I was hoping it'd expand into the RAGE PRO series but nah. 0 Share this post Link to post
