I thought steam was out before that. I thought I recalled installing steam and thinking man this server browser sucks compared to Kali.net / browser at the time. Had all sorts of problems playing hl one based mods multiplayer before hl2 came out. Of course they fixed everything and it was amazing for a long time (mp server browser in hl based games). I’m pretty sure steam was out for quite a bit before hl2 dropped.
