WTF is going on with HL and steam?

[The_Dude]

I dont know wtf they are doing, but i see the cs update at 340 mb or so and that's all cool. but, they have a full install @ 800+mb and i dont get wtf it's for.

i've heard people that this collects personal info and stuff.

anyone have any info on this steam thing?

I don't know about the rest of it, but I read on www.penny-arcade.com that the info collecting is a hoax. I can't remember what they said it was, but if you search you can find the article. It's about a week and a half old.

Its not spyware

The 800 meg install includes the files for day of defeat, cs, tfc, etc. Thats why.
