yes there is
you are FORCED to use steam if you buy half-life 2 retail!
you are FORCED to use a internet technology when buying a
retail game!
that is NOT admissible!
steam is an internet technology which has no place in the
retail channel
if valve only wants to sell its games by the net then do it
only via steam but if it wants to sell its games in retail
then do it WITHOUT steam and in a PROPER way
we want a PROPER retail version STEAM FREE of half-life 2!
i've been telling this since the beginning
steam has no place in retail
steam in retail is DECEIVING and DAMAGING costumers
we demand steam being out of the retail channel
germany authorities even declared half-life 2 retail package
illegal and against consumer rights
vivendi left valve and stoped publishing there game in retail
cause of steam being infecting the retail market
all are saying the same!
steam has no place in retail!
we want steam out of retail!

that's the only thing you steam fanatics know how to reply
"valve can choose how to sell its products"
can't you do any better?
is that the best you can do?
stop that LOUSY EXCUSE! stop it!
if its to write this don't write at all cause it a complete
waste! WORTHLESS WASTE mister bravo!

wrong mister bravo!
wrong! wrong! wrong!
what did i told you!!!!
i told you a better graphic card and more memory are totally
acceptable system requirements cause they improve gameplay
cause they make the game BETTER!
cause they make the game experience much better for us!
you need a powerful hardware to run demanding software and
we know that is true and we accept this
a better graphic card makes playing the game better for the
gamer but internet connection is only there to favour valve!
internet connection in a SINGLE-PLAYER game is a requirement
so valve can IMPOSE a system like steam in pc games so they
can have more control and with more control comes more money
and don't even try to deny this
internet connection required in a single player game is all
motivated by money not by more quality to us pc gamers
you can say valve has all the right to do it but don't even
imply internet connection for a SINGLE-PLAYER game is a
requirement for us pc gamers
does doom3 have this requirement? NO!
does farcry have this requirement? NO!
does riddick have this requirement? NO!
does painkiller have this requirement? NO!
does even battlefield 2 which is a multiplayer game have
this requirement? NO! NO! NO!
none of them have this requirement!
so why only valve games have this requirement?
so why is valve games any different?
cause its there to FAVOUR valve and not to benefit the game
itself or us pc gamers!
ITS A DAMN HYPOCRISY SAYING INTERNET CONNECTION FOR A SINGLE
PLAYER GAME IS A REAL REQUIREMENT!
HYPOCRISY!
HYPOCRITE YOU ARE MISTER BRAVO!
