First aaa game to launch exclusively on steam.... And you think that was Skyrim?

Gordan is so disappointed in you.

HL2 actually had an edition that came on disks that didn't require Steam.

Wild when I bought what I thought was a disc copy I came home opened the case and found a game code and a link to steam.

Most were, but there was one version that didn't use Steam. It's probably worth a lot of money, if you could find one that was unopened.

9 years before skyrim. Steam had it's launch title secured.

Require is a strong word. The box set with five CDs needed it to install, but it could be uninstalled afterwards according to the Greybeards from that time.
