Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and various other games released by Valve now require Steam to launch the game in order to play online. This entry covers just the GUI components of the Steam system, including Friends. Steam allows for the purchase, download and install of many popular games, along with the ability to view server info and join friends in games (that you own as well).
