Cute, but I personally don't see what all the whinning is about. I bought the retail version and found the install quite painless (a bit long but that's to be expected for a 5 cd game). As for bugs, I have never had a game run so smoothly and bug free upon release. It seems that the majority of games these days are released in an unfinished state and don't run properly until several patches later, not so for this game. I have a mid-range computer and I am amazed that a game that looks this good will run this well on my system.

I thought it was pretty funny, not entirely accurate but humorous nontheless.

Hehehehe that's quite funny, and slightly true too.
I do find it a bit "big brothery/brave new worldy/1984'y" to have a big company sitting somewhere with systems in place checking everytime I load the game up, seeing when I'm starting it up, shutting it down, each time checking that I'm a legal owner, and 'allowing' me to run it.
I have brought a legal copy of it but I'm considering using the no-cd crack and the anti steam thing so it doesn't have to validate anything, because I say what runs on my PC and when, legal or not. Period. I pay out 35 quid for a program, and take it home to find every step of the way I'm being watched and monitored electronically by this faceless corperation, watching my every step with the game, and in the next room to me a friend has made an image of a dvd copy of the game, installed that and then used a couple of cracks a friend gave him and he away playing the game right now and he doesn't even have an internet connection, and he ain't paid a penny...Makes me wish I'd stolen it now.
I agree that Valve will try and stop as many people copying their new game and invent methods to stop this, but you know when this has gone too far when it's actually quicker and easier to steal the game. You get it installed quicker, there are less electronic prying eyes on your machine, not to mention it's cheaper!! (hehehe), and you can play it when your net connection goes down. so you actaully get better service and functionality if you steal the game!!!!
That is an absurd position for a piece of software to be in!!!

Indeed. There seems to be many new members with pro-warez thoughts on these forums since the release of HL2. I'm not going to be a hippocrite and say that I've never warez'd a game, but I'm certainly not proud of it as a lot of these "I'm beating the system, middle finger to The Man!" warez advocates seem to be.
