Steam is the main reason I never finished HL2, and it's also the reason I can't be bothered installing it again. Great game, but Steam is just a total pain. Especially when your connection isn't that fast. Or when your connection is broken for whatever reason ¬_¬

thanks for the compliment cloudy
and as you can probably gather, i hate steam as much as you do :P i freely admit i pirate games/music etc but i don't encourage unless there is a serious reason (i.e. steam) and the thing is, my version of hl2 is pirated but it's steam-free and that's the reason i downloaded instead of bought it. before anyone else says anything, i'm not saying it's right to pirate but i'm saying i have a perfectly valid reason for wanting to download it (i.e. pirates remove steam) and in my eyes, steam is just a unnecessary complication to a good game. i might have considered buying if those f***tards valve didn't make sure it required steam.
