Actually from Valves point of view leaving the way to crack it available until halflife 2 has been on shelves for a few weeks may indeed be a smart move. A multiplayer game is only fun if theres players and a cracked version gurantees more players. Once you have a popular game and everyone hooked, you make it uncrackable and then everyone who had cracked it purchases it. I think the day they make Steam hack proof is the day we see a whole heap less players on servers. Id prefer the exploitable version of steam stuck around for at least a few more weeks so that it has a chance for legitimate player numbers to reach a higher level, even if it is an abosolute fucking pain in the ass to ban idiots who keep getting new steamid's.
