Nah, we'd have Eric (Decon) to keep us company. But back on the subject... is valve really trying to kill off the userbase that it strove to attain? I might be a rare case here, but some of us DONT have broadband. Does that mean that we can't play? Nope. but what it does mean is pure and utter hell when updates come. I can currently drive 15 minutes, download the update on a t1, burn it, and then take it home and have fun with it.. or I sit on my dialup with steam that only gets 24600 and wait for hours! All I have to say is that HL2 single player better not check with Steam, because, if it does, Valve's gunna screw itself over. In other words, Valve, you're seriously screwing yourself over, in the future, I dont want to be sitting with some kids and then mention half life and they all start laughing because of your demise due to over-protectiveness, which leads me to my next point. You are not Microsoft. We do not rely on your products to make our PCs function. You could dissapear tommorrow and all that would happen would be like "Hmm, Valve's gone? That sucks big time! I really liked Half-Life", now if MS would do that pretty much worldwide panic/cause for concern would happen.. (Linux ppl, you know where i'm coming from) Microsoft got away with WPA because of it's sheer size and control. Think about it.
