Well is sounds to me based on the "roadmap" from Erik Johnson that this has changed and that within 2 weeks of the release of steam the ENTIRE user base will be converted to steam (the final release of 1.6 anyone?). here is his post. http://www.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=021f13dae3c331249aea4e3ebdef0f3b&threadid=11562 I would also like to add a "me too" for the lan without internet issue. It seems to go even further than just lan though. It sounds like for HL2 once you update your game (steam only update) or play online, you can't even play the singleplayer anymore without authenticating with the steam servers. The game will not run without steam authentication even if you have the CD in the drive. I don't know if the hl2 stuff is true or not, but there hasn't been a clear response from valve or at least I haven't found one yet. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
