Valve sends an explanation for why Half-Life 2 is not being activated at this
time in spite of the couple reports of it being available at retail already:
Half-Life 2 For Sale?
If you have purchased a copy of Half-Life 2, we are sorry you are still waiting to play. This is not Valve's choice. Vivendi is insisting that the game has not yet been released, and has threatened that Valve would be in violation of its contract if we activate the Half-Life 2 Steam authentication servers at this time.
Thanks for your patience and we will update you when we have more news to share.
Heh, I'm not in a bad mood, I have not been on the edge of my chair waiting for HL2 for the last 2 years. Its rdy now, I fancied trying it, so I thought I would give Steam ago to save me a trip the the game shop, and also put my $ straight to the developers if they could deliver me it on time.
Anyway, no flame war intented, just thought I would post my comments on a newbies intro to Steam, and what a real Publishers role in getting that game to the rest of the world as Valve's servers buckle.
Surely I HOPE, though, that when I get home from the shop, the Steam Activation servers are not crippled also, and I must wait to even longer to play the game from the CD.
