I think the fuss is about people who are trying to connect for the first time... now. You have your temp steam ticket.

Beamer: I work in the punk rock industry. I've listened to mostly hardcore my entire life. I wasn't comparing HL2 to punk, I was comparing the fact that with Steam type applications that small developers could go the full extent without a major publisher. That's punk rock. Most of the bands I used to listen to were run by one other person as well... it's not something amazing, it's a known fact in the underground.

Sued on what grounds? Give me one legal claim you have. Anything. Just one. C'mon, I'm a lawyer, I can tell you how valid it is compared to your EULA.
On the grounds that I paid money to play Half-Life 2 not Steam.
As for the EULA, I never read those, I've already paid my money by the time I see it and so, why the fuck waste time reading it?
Beside, lawyers sue doctors for no reason all the time. I'm not a lawyer but my understanding is that in the U.S. anybody can sue anybody for any reason.
I would sue for bait and switch, I paid for Half-Life 2, not Steam. Even after all this bitching I still have no idea what steam is and I could care less.

Really funny that people want to play the game so badly they think Valve deserves to be destroyed.
Very funny to compare it to punk rock, too. I listen to hardcore mostly. The bands I listen to are on labels run by one guy. Know what? It can't be compared to the gaming industry, at all. No connection.

So, after I unlock the fucking game, do I ever have to deal with Steam again?
I'm afraid so Bob. You get a temporary license to play, but it expires after a while. It is possible for the servers to go down and for this to happen all over again.

Last year, in anticipation of Gabe Newell's lie, I bought an Alienware computer which came in August. On September 1, I prepaid for the game.
As I told the stupid fucks at Valve in yet another profane laden missive, my money trumps their bullshit.
Its my machine and my game, I paid for both. I better not have to rely on the steam network being up to play it whenever I want.
Well, I guess it's already happened that I couldn't play the goddamned piece of crap when I want, but this NAMBLA-ites better fix it.
I really, really, really, really hate them.
And they should be sued into dirt. Bad dirt that can't even grow weeds.

To have Steam say "Your subscription to Half-Life 2 Retail Collectors has not been completed...However you can play Half-Life 2 Retail Collectors in the meantime..."
At which point I'm taken to a download dialouge!?
Ok... then it tells me I can't because the servers are busy.
I got this same message when I tried the first 2 times. On the third time I told it to install the SDK as well and it worked? Go figure.
LOL, that was the biggest slap in the face of all. Seems like you're done with this hassel, then whoops no, sorry, still can't play. Felt like someone at Valve/Vivendi wanted ppl to be able to play the retail version temporarily even if servers were down but at the last minute changed their mind.
Feeling really foolish for not buying it online. Much less BS to deal with. Can't wait till the no CD patch comes out. It's like having to play an MMORPG with the disc... makes no sense.
[Update]
WOW, 14 pages, 280 posts. Will we break 500? I think it's possible!

Have had it streamed for a few weeks now. Got on last night, unlocked within 10mins... played for 5 hours. Now need sleep.
Absolutely brilliant so far. I enjoyed Doom...but I now see what a real blockbuster game looks like (again, could just be lack of sleep).
Going to start building my own "Dog" this weekend.

Where will the funding come from?
Have you never seen any indie games, indie movies, punk rock, anything?
It comes from passion - working day jobs, and working on the projects with passionate coworkers. That's where the funding comes from.

I don't know if they deserve to be destroyed.
If something is worth waiting for, I don't mind.
Maybe that's why I'm not ranting and freaking.
But at the end of the day, yeah they should get some sort of kick in the nuts for making me go through this registration bullshit.
The only aggravating part of this for me:
