HellBender Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 If you get caught with a hack, you're pretty lame. It's painfully easy to get past Valve's protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 www.steampowered.com may be your best bet. I have decided not to use Steam, even if it means not playing Half Life 2. It is counterproductive for my slower connection, and having to be connected to a STEAM server to play the single player version....that's saying I have to connect to the net to use files that are already on my computer! I don't like it one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
