dear valve software,

i know you think you're all slick and cool and revollutionary with your new steam delivery system as a way to activate games. and i know you're all big on security now that you screwed up and let the hl2 source code get stolen a year ago, so now you make it so that we have to use steam to unlock half-life 2, even if we bought it in the store. and then you go and drop the ball by not anticipating the MASSIVE traffic on steam due to the millions of fans that apparently you didn't expect to clog your servers by trying to all activate your games. or maybe you just don't realize that most people want to play their games AS SOON AS THEY BUY THEM. and now they can't, because they can't connect to steam, which means that sit here in anger and think about how badly they want to firebomb your entire office. yes, you may have made the greatest game of all time, but since you're denying me from playing the arguably even greater sequal, i can only think of the wrong you are doing me. this had better be worth both the $55 and major headache i've gotten trying to register on steam. or else.

sincerely,

a very, very bitter old man
