WTF? Wait a second, pardon my ignorance on this subject, but are you telling me that if I go out and buy HL2 at BB or EBG or wherever, I won't be able to play it unless I subscribe to Steam? If that's true, that's total crap. Why should I subscribe to some proprietary service to play a stand-alone game? It's not like I'm playing a MMORPG or something. :|

Please, correct me if I'm wrong on this.

you are wrong. If you buy it in a store, you will not be required to subscribe to steam.

any confirmation of that? i find that highly doubtful
