I have an irrational hatred of Steam, so find this announcement quite annoying.
I have a rational hatred of Steam - they'll ask €10 for each game, wanna bet? I like old games returning but WHY did they focus on their typically dried out IPs? Star Wars & Indiana Jones may be the most "fresh" but only Fate of Atlantis and The Dig are really good - they left out DOTT, Sam & Max, Full Throttle, Monkey Island 1&2 & Grim Fandango.

It uninstalls all games, so no you can't, unless you physically move the games before uninstalling and puts them back after installing.

And now that they're finally, FINALLY, showing some sort of support to old classic adventure games, which you've always wanted, you guys give Lucasarts a middle finger, and even yelling "Do something new!".

You're all bunch of whiners, you know that

EDIT: And red had to wrote article of that. Woah...

I don't see how milking an old cow is support of anything.

Ten years ago, I wanted this. Then they released a half-assed Windows XP version of a few of their games which barely worked and they sold it at a ridiculous price + they gave NO support for them.

THEN, like my article said, they canceled Sam & Max 2 and got the fury of many gamers on their neck. And since then, a gazillion Star Wars games have passed us by with not a single really good one among them so my respect for LucasArts has plummeted.

The fact that they chose this moment to release their games, if you ask me, is because Telltale had to show them there's still a market because LucasArts were too much a bunch of console c*cks*ckers & cowards to find out on their own when they could. I mean, cancelling a game when it's 98% done (Purcell's words) and then refusing Purcell to take the game to Telltale games even after an offer of payment? Jesus.

Telltale showed interest to make Monkey Island games and LucasArts probably smelled profit due to the increased attention the game would have gotten and so decided to remake the original. "Piggybacking" is the right word here.

Either that or the president of LucasArts got kicked out and one who actually had a brain between his ears got put in his place. In any case, the sudden major shift towards adventure games is highly suspicious - Fate of Atlantis for free with a Wii game, Monkey Island remake and now oldies on Steam?

I'm with you 110%, Steam stinks worse than skunk farts!

I wanted to try the demo version of Portal, can't do it w/o Steam and thus an internet connection. Problem is my gaming rig doesn't have one for speed and security reasons, and all my attempts at cracking the download have failed.

If they're trying to discourage potential customers, they've got the right idea!
