Wish: sane DRM

[Ryastar]

Weird! I didn't have ANY problems when i installed it, and nor do i need an internet connection to play or anything like that (which, agreed, is my biggest problem with things like steam. I was given Portal for my b-day, back in June, and i beat it once and enjoyed it, but after my hard drive got fried (due to some unexplained reason, almost certainly unconnected with portal or kb), Portal is one game that i have chosen not to re-install, cause i just don't like steam). I do, however, doubt that your problem is connected with DRM, though i would have to know where you got it (yes, i know it was a gift, but where whoever got you the game bought it (eg. online, at a game store, from some strange guy in an alleyway etc.))
