yeah that is most likely it
if he registered it to steam you cant use it - get him to get you another one!

holy cow never ever ever ever ever ever EVER share your CD key with ANYONE! That is unless you are for sure will never play the game ever again. I've known so many people who shared CD keys for Counter-Strike and in the end the key got banned from playing online. Moral of the story is. don't give the key to friends and don't give it to anyone else.

..Why do people share games neway? Isn't the friend like gonna have to send in the cd key to STEAM to get it reseted for a fee?

I still don't understand what the big fuss is. Both of you can use the same CD-key as long as you use the same steam id. That's what i have learned so far. I've done it x.x

If your friend decides to cheat and you are the one that bought the game, then there is a problem if he gets it banned off of steam.

10-15$... not a big deal, if it comes to that buy another half-life..

I'm also talkin about games that are new and cost 50 bucks

Friend? When did I say friend? I have two computers. Both host my dedicated servers. And what does the cost of it have to do with anything?

who ever said I was talking about you? I was saying it in general. and as for money...not all of us are rich you know. Money is a concern for some of us. ;/
