inconvenient to some gamers, i wouldnt say entirely unfair. But this is what pirates force game makers to do at this time, then so be it. more power to em.

im sure as i've said in other threads that the real 'hackers' will still get around it or find away, but the sheer number of stupid annoying wanna be kids this kicks off that will never know another way to get around its great, and perhaps it prevents some from pirating games in the future.

honestly, most everyone who has a computer able to run HL2 should be able to find a way to connect to the internet to install it. inconvenient as i said, but they should be able to find a way.
