Query: Don't Bother unless you feel like getting a STEAM burn

Loved HL2 but that was when STEAM was only mildly annoying. Now the STEAM activation system has reached a whole new level of sadistic pain. I won't rehash what's been described below but suffice to say it takes longer to activate this game than play it. The game HL2 Ep 1 is OK but nothing new but hey who wouldn't rather spend 2 hrs trying to activate the game ala STEAM than play it. I think I'll pass on HL2 Ep 2 until Valve comes to their senses. In the meantime, if I want to frustrate myself I'll go back to trying to purge my system of all the STARFORCE subroutines (I can only imagine what STEAM has bugged my system with?).
