Petition to make Half-Life: Deathmatch (1998) free-to-play
The Issue
Half-Life: Deathmatch costs money. And a lot of people don't want to buy it or pirate Half-Life to play Deathmatch. So, a lot of people resort to never experiencing this incredible title.
Let's change that.



Half-Life: Deathmatch being Steam/WON2-only. This is a detriment to the game's success these days. More and more people are leaving behind PC and going to console or mobile. This needs to be rectified.
Before you ask, no, Xash3D on Android is not going to help, this is why.


What a shame for such a good game, too :(
