    It was pure gaming.

    No advertisments, no marketing, no extra costs.

    The only way to get better was to play more.

    How can it not be fun?

    Good ol’ days, thank you VALVE.

    We had mods. They’re a bit like skins and new content, only free and far more creative. They are what you call microtransactions today but you didn’t have to sell your right arm to get them because anyone could make them.
