This "only Steam" concept would be complete BS as it would debar a lot of people outside the US, where CC are not so common.
I'd love to play SiN2 but I also want a box and a manual and all this stuff; will those stupid publishers never learn this?
I'm really wondering how much copies HL2 sold outside the US per Steam compared to retail-boxes. Was it so much that it justifies more of this crap? I would not have bought HL2 if not in a box (apart from the fact that the so called "collectors edition" just included some stupid junk which for sure didn't deserve that title).
Or to rephrase: Give me a bloody box, goddamnit!
