Although there is apparently a workaround to play the game without Steam, your pretty likely to get your account banned should Steam ever smell something fishy going on.


 


I'd reccomend downloading the Steam client on somebody else's computer, then logging into your account and registering it from there, since HL2 only requires that it's verified on your account.

keep an eye out on gamecopyworld.com. I'm sure someone will eventually make a patch so you do not have to authenticate with the Steam servers.
