please people,
look at most new games toady, they state an internet connection is required. HL2 isnt doing anything unusual with the label. and i know many people with a very powerful computer and no internet connection, and guess what, for the week of hl2 release, i was one of them, sucks to be me huh.
steam doesnt just require internet, in most cases it requires broadband. and it may be a shock to you but many countries dont have reliable broadband, take South africa, its bloody expensive to get dialup and they pay per megabyte, broadband is almost non existant, so just to validate and download the manditory updates take days for them and propbably costs them a lot of money
