| Got Pipe? I can only imagine how much bandwith they will need if they plan on offering to release HL2 via steam for a monthly fee. I think I read on a forum you can either buy it for $50.00 and have all the content as is (that is no CS2, no TFC2, no new content) or pay $9.99/month for access to Steam and all the content. | |

| Re: Got Pipe? The way I read that is, "Only the people who pay the monthly subscription will get the mods, updates, new maps, etc etc"
The people who DON'T pay will be screwed.
Pardon me, but if that's true, there are two letters for it:
"B" and "S" with lots of "!!!!!"'s.

Tulsa, OK | Re: Got Pipe? I went back and looked again, and I think I see what they are saying. Add-ons and packs will be sold seperate, the same way they are now.
Ok, I'm happy, as long as I don't have to pay $10 a month to play, I'm happy. | |

Boulder, CO | Re: Got Pipe? I may be wrong, but I remember hearing that if you buy the Radeon 9800 XT, you get all the content free until HL2 is released, in which case you will have to go on the monthly plan. | |

clubs: | Yeah, you can pay the monthly fee and download everything, including the original HL. Also they have a downloadable pay version, as well as 2 boxed versions, one for single player only, and one with multiplayer also. | |
