cd-checks and dvd-checks are already so much friendlier (and everybody still hates them)...
The day the Steam and activation servers are taken offline, no more installing/playing HL2 for you... The concept of ownership is skewed badly here.
Sure, no one complains, as soon as the servers are still up, see what happens when they're no longer (possibly even as a marketing ploy to force everyone into buying HL3 when it comes out).
Steam itself is more acceptable as a purchasing platform, but not as a way to force a continuous presence on one's system (generally described as "gaming functionalty", as if that piece of code was indispensable to run single player games or prevent cheating in online parties).
In unrelated matters, would someone post screenshots of this particular game ?
