I also think that idea behind Steam is good, especially for us, game developers, but Steam itself and Half-Life 2 retail packaging are just awfull and this is a negative feedback to Valve and Sierra. Packaging is poor - discs are in envelopes, they are just useless without Steam and there is even no manual!!! What a shame. Why they had to make retail version to work only with Steam? If people buy retail it means that they do not want any online activations and all. Our team has decided to cancel HL2 port of Decay and do only HL1 port because of Steam because Steam just refused to work offline, though we have followed every step of Valve's instructions. Interesting that I wrote several times to official Steam support, wrote to forums and ask a question and still received no reply and that happened 3 weeks ago. -- Best regards, Vyacheslav mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
