You total HYPOCRITE !!
1. You have incessantly railed against the purchase of
used/second-hand games for at least the past 2 years. "Purchase of
used-games does nor reward the developer" has been your unwavering
rant.
2. You do know that the HL2 EULA expressly forbids the trading and
playing of used copies of that game, don't you? Any such purchase
makes you an accessory to a crime.
3. Installation of any hack to circumvent the Steam validation is also
a violation of the HL2 EULA.
Hopefully you will shell out good money to buy a used copy of HL2.
I highly recommend eBay. Excellent mechanism for disposal of
redundant HL2 disks after installation of the game. Always some
suckers like you that will purchase them.

OK, so who is going to ask the obvious "next questions" of our newly
christened resident?

No
You will not be able to play as no Win 98 drivers are available for your
graphics card.

Are you trying to avoid Steam to play Steam games? Do you intend to
bypass authentication? Are you giving out links for others to do this too?

You still don't get it Lewis
For you what matter is the PRICE! the MONEY!
MONEY for you comes always first
For me no.
For me its my own consumer rights!
I'd rather pay 50 BUCKS for HL2 Used 2nd hand than 50 cents for HL2
New Factory sealed
Why?
Cause when paying Used 2nd hand I'm sure none of my money goes to
Valve!
and when buying NEW I know I will be giving money to Valve and that
NEVER! NEVER!
I will never give Money to Valve! NEVER!
Its a matter of honor Lewis!

into it.
