Half-Life 2 'Interview' - False Activation Claims?

Posted by simoniker on from the have-people-nothing-better-to-do? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to a mini-interview with Valve's Gabe Newell at Nerdsahoy.com, Half-Life 2 will use a form of online product activation to prevent more than one install per copy." Newell also allegedly comments on distribution, saying "...our marketing will mostly lean towards [Valve's online 'content delivery system'] Steam as the method of acquiring the game." Update: 09/02 14:34 GMT by S : Unfortunately, many signs point towards this being a fake, fabricated interview.

    Despite what he says, I'm still going to need to get a new graphics card(From a GeForce 2 GTS), and I heard something of a special ATI bundle.

    I'm an ATI guy, I got the GF2 for free, before that I had a Rage 128.
