To all whining about not being able to play the game "10 years from now." Think of this: If Valve decides to end support for HL2, don't you think they would have the intelligence to release a NEW PATCH that would get rid of the online authentication? At this point, 10 years down the road, they aren't going to a give much of a shit if anyone pirates it if it's not a profitable game. But, assuming it is, I'm sure the servers will be up for all you babies.
