I bought the game, and just wanna play single player.
But, as I guessed it would, forcing a SP game to have an internet connection sux.
Steam is so hammered right now it won't even activate my game to let me play BY MY SELF.

Steam doesn't just blow...it sucks too!

Simple...

They already have your money. AND...from the looks of it, this activation problem really hasn't prevented anyone from buying it.

Valve is in the driver's seat, and if this is the only way to prevent piracy, more power to them.

You're just going to have to wait. (or wait for a crack, but that will probably take much longer than the activation from Valve)
