HL2 updates, no longer do you need CD in drive
#1
Seeing as how I can't sleep, I might as well post this here.

Not having to put the CD into the drive to play is good. Having that feature installed is pretty much useless anyway, most of the time its cracked with in 24 hours. Even with steam people were bypassing it with their legal versions that they thought.

I have always said this, CD protection on the actual CD is just plain stupid, there are always ways around it.
