Now I can have my final decision on the remastered Quake by the end of todaySteam was released 12 September 2003. It has grown so much since then. It is totally free and less intrusive than say the epic launcher. You can find so many free to play games if thats what you like. It also has the big named games that you can pay for (if you use a cd key site you can get them via steam for a lot less) But yes totally free and is in my opinion the best home for gaming
