Who the flying fuck plays VTMB on goddamn Steam, holy shit. In all the years I've been lurking/posting on VTMB-related forums, I honestly can't remember anyone saying they were ever playing it there. It was either a GOG copy, a physical CD they purchased way back or they braved the Seven Seas.
I still have the CDs I bought way back in 2005 and keep them around as a trophy, but I got the GOG copy a couple years ago because the CDs got too damaged
.
GOG didn't get Bloodlines until 2016. The original copy was unable to purchase new after a few years since didn't meet expectations (no need to make a new print run). For about a decade, the only convenient legal way to acquire a new copy was through Steam, typically through its many $5 sales, though I've noticed that greedy Activision stopped doing that in 2019 and now only let it go as low as $10.
