    Here's a pretty simple solution: don't play the game.

    Return it to the store-- or at least try to-- and stop whining.

    Everyone else with broadband, a clue, and a decent computer will enjoy the game.

    PS-- My friend who installed from the disks did not have to download anything from Steam, just did the authorization, it unlocked, and he was done. Hasn't connected Steam to the net since. Maybe you were downloading all the back catalog of games? Who knows.
