Are you against that or not?

Personally I don't see the issue. The original game was in woeful need of a easy to use and more widely known MP server browser (I'd argue that HL met these requirments) and Steamworks provides that while simultaneously (although not preventing all together) deterring piracy. It also already has a massive market penetration and prevents 1C Maddox from having to build a MP service. I am totally ambivalent towards using STEAM or not.
