You are such teh n00b.
I remember playing GTA, Doom 2, Quake, C&C, MECHWARRIOR, TA... and sooo many other classics back in the day. Nothing beats the old days of LAN gaming (when it was RARE to have a LAN card)....

You are such teh misunderstanding. It is time you whip out those metal undies before you are pentrated  
You have proved my point with what you said. Playing GTA, Doom 2, Quake, C&C, Mechwarrior etc. when it was RARE to have a LAN card. At the time you are referring to how many LANs do you think operated as profitable businesses? LANs (PC rooms as they are more often called) were popping up when I just started high school and so I was in the prime of my gaming life. You saw a couple of people playing starcraft but what kept bringing people back was Counter-Strike. It was extremely popular from around BETA 0.6 to 1.3 and was still largely popular upto 1.5.
Maybe I could've rephrased what I was trying to say in a better way but Counter-Strike single-handedly made LANs mainstream and thus profitable -- and no other game comes anywhere near as close as CS in its prime in attracting the droves of customers back. From kids as young as 8 to middle-aged adults. If you ask anyone in the business they will tell you the same thing.
