Haha yea...
I am very pissed that Valve hasn't had more support for Steam related
technology since the release of Half-Life 2... I mean Steam has been
buggy
and weird in general, and had poor anti-cheat protection for a while
now...
but now that I've forked over $60 for half-life 2, I kind of expect a lot
of
these things to be resolved by now, or being fixed very quickly as we
speak.
Don't get me wrong, I see the potential of steam as being something
really
great.. but right now with the flakey friends network being practically
unusable, and no anti-cheat/hack protection, its all totally worthless...

You must not forget to get the media involved (c-net, zd-net, abc, cbs,
post, times, etc..). Only then will it truly work.
Happy Holidays
