Did you play Half-Life during the 25th anniversary update? What did you think of the update and did it get you to play Half-Life again after years of not playing it? did you check out any of the new mods for it or replay old classics and favorites, and how did it feel to see HLDM fully populated again? Personally I loved every bit of it, and I genuinely didn't expect Valve to do an update this "big" for the 25th, it's been nice seeing people who haven't played it in years come back on and talk about it, and seeing newer players experiencing it for the first time, primarily the multiplayer and how beautifully chaotic it is. It's also fun seeing people play the past 25 years of mods for it, recommending my own picks, classics and fan favorites. It's a shame they didn't make their entire goldsrc catalogue permanently free, I would love to see all the other games get a big burst of players and potentially get revived with newer players that get into them
