It is very generalizing to think that everyone has internet, though I do understand that they do not want to provide options like activating the game through phone. I agree Valve should provide other methods of activating the game. Try to be detailed about what you are experiencing. The best source for accurate information would probably be Steam´s support-staff ( ). This is how it should work, though I can´t be sure since I perosnally am not buying retail. If HL2 needs to be activated from the game it is installed on you will need to transport your PC to friends house or to someone that lets you connect to the internet (essentially just plugging the cable connecting to the internet to your own PC). However this could be just rumours of planned features. I´ve heard talk about being able to play your own copy of game on any computer that has the game installed. If it gets tied to your system or if Valve just wants to "activate" the use of your copy. I´m not sure how Steam authenticates your retail copy of the game, asuming you are buying retail. Your Steam account info is stored remotely on Valve´s servers, so your information and your settings should be the same wherever you access it (friends house, Cyber café). I have to admit that the info I´ve received is mostly unofficial, but hopefully it will help you out at least a bit.
