"In a recent Gamespy interview with Doug Lambardi it was revealed that the retail version of Half-Life 2 will require product activation. This isn't just restricted to multiplayer, you will have to create a Steam account and activate your retail purchase before you can even run single-player. "
So... you need to install steam (that buggy, bloated pile of garbage delivery system), register an account and have an internet connection... To install a singleplayer boxed retail copy of the game I'm paying £30+ for? Ha ha ha. Good one. :happy:
What? They're serious? Hm, smacks a little of "Microsoft" syndrome. Screw that then. I just lost interest. :bye3:
*Kills amazon preorder*.
