True enough. Why be forced to install what amounts to useless commercial / DRM crap on your PC, that you don't want and didn't volunteer for? This is effectively the same as having Starforce or any other copy protection inflicted upon you. Those who have downloaded cracked copies from p2p won't be effected at all, it will only be the mugs that paid up for it that will have to deal with it.

I used to be an avid CS 1.5 player back in the day. I gave up when v1.6 was released and Steam was inflicted on us. Since then I haven't bothered with Valve games and don't intend to again.
