Anyway, I fixed the problem by just buying the steam version. If you don't want to pay $10 just wait for a sale... I saw the game for $2.50 once.!
Half-Life 2 was my first Steam game. I had no idea how Steam worked back then... so I guess I was scammed? Eh... ebay.
I was used to those old fashoned games that would work by plugging in a long string of numbers at the install screen. DRM was a new concept for me then.
Weird story, but it all worked out anyway, cause I played Half-Life 2 eventually.
I agree DRM can be harsh, but it has it's justifications and, if done right, is not all that bad. Steam does the right thing by tieing a game, digital or physical, to a particular account, while at the same time allowing the game to be played in offline mode.
The thing is, pirating is a bigger problem for PC than it is for consoles, because it is just easier. I am a PC gamer myself and I think pirating, while not a damning problem, is signifigant enough to justify some forms of DRM. The developers have to make their money somehow.
There are only two cases where I would condone pirating. 1) If the game is really old, and is no longer being sold at any retailer or being supported by the publisher. 2) If you already own/owned a legal copy of the game but lost it or otherwise don;t have access to it.
Of course pirates won't abide by these ethical boundaries, so DRM is, in most cases, totally justified.
