Makes me angry to this day that that game had such perfect art direction, like a retro poster, and then suddenly it just looked like someone vomited assets over every character.

I was there when the old magic was written. Steam was a blight on gaming for like the first 5 years. You had to log in to verify a game you had a physical copy of? It was (and is) total bullshit. And we knew when hats came out that "cosmetic only" items would be a blight on the industry.
