Yep , ive been hanging around the forums since 2008.
when i got the first renegade-x beta, lol, i remmber it took me a full day to get it working , partly my fault , and when i tried to give it to my friends, they had trouble getting it to work on theirs , but in the end we all gave up, and decided to wait for another beta .
but since we all have steam, it would have been much easier back then.
i say it'd be a great idea, as it makes giving others the game much easier.
