Re: SEV on Steam?
Stream is more like a program that tells on you. You cannot play HL 2 without it. You have to activate it in order to download your AUTHORIZATION to play Half Life 2. Not multiplayer, althought it does that too, but single player.
Its an anti theft, anti freedom, anti purchase, updater program that basically gives you a red or green light for playing. It is a pain in the *** to say the least. You have to have an account with them, so eventually they can start to charge you if they so desire.
After shelling out $55.00 for Half Life 2, and spending nearly an hour installing the game, I was shocked to have to wait antoher 45 minutes for Stream to approve me to play.
Now it doesn't take so long, but still its confusing, annoying, and out right 1984 encarnate.
While stream is running they have full access to your entire PC and or network. It really is THAT bad.
