Hmm... now what's true? Do you login ONCE and that's it? Or does Steam start automatically every time you boot up your PC and connects to Valve to authenticate / register or whatever it is?

Anyway, it's sufficient for me if Steam needs to be installed because the last time I had it freshly installed, it made my PC crash (not during an update or a game, not because of a temporarily f*cked up Valve server, just because it was installed and got loaded). Besides, it's not necessary. I see Steam more as a marketing platform than anything else. So the equation stays simple for me:
HL2 - Steam = buy when it's cheap enough
HL2 + Steam = no, thanks.
