Question for HL2 players, havent used steam for awhile...well..more like 2 years Options

[Valo666]

So, i have Steam, Half-Life 2 and a few other Steam games installed on my computer from back when half life 2 came out, but ive went onto steams website within the last month *first time in like..a year*, and it now says that certain games, IE counterstrike soruce, you have to pay for now. My question is, when I update steam *havent done so, or used it for...almost 2 years now*, will i have to pay to be able 2 play the games i already have?..or will they just automaticly update?? Im just curious if im gonna need to pay to get counterstrike back and running again.

I honestly donno if my half life 2 will work or not because im pretty sure i had some part of the files deleted when my computer got cleaned up from a virus. I havent been able to try yet because after they cleaned up my computer, they put some firewall settins or something up, so i cant log onto MSN, Steam or go onto any secured site.

whatever games you have in your steam account are games you already paid for. if you bought hl2, you get counterstrike source with that. so you can update steam and not loose anything.

best part is... that if you reformat your computer or something happens to your files, you can just log into steam and download all the games you already paid for. this was a godsent for me, because my HL2 disk got damaged a long ago.

if you have anything like peer guardian, or a software firewall, then you might need to disable that for steam to work.
