I was already planning on getting it through steam (got 3 gigs already) this only seals the deal. Funniest part is that they want Valve to be forced to work with them in the future. VU doesn't have a future.
I do hope this has no effect on HL2's release date...
I also hope this does not prevent a boxed version from being released at the same time as the Steam version. I want a physical CD and box with the game...
this is just depressing. it's going to make for one hell of a gamespot article, though.

if anything, this'll prevent a steam version from ever being released for download. apparently, vivendi had no idea that steam would ever become so important to valve's distribution scheme. they claim that valve deliberately mislead them.
