It was one of the best value for money experiences I've ever had. Only beat out by The left 4 dead series based on hours played.

Yes it was legitimately insane what you got here in terms of quality. I played so much TF2 back in the day.

I missed the alternative timeline where survival versus was played competitively and the windfall of Evolve like games that spawned from the left 4 dead 2's success.

Well we did get the Tides games at least.

And versus was never the point.

Then, 15 years later, when I rejoined the world of modern PC gaming, those games were all still available for download from my Steam account just because I bought the physical Orange Box back in 2007.
