Destroy.. how? The game still exists, Valve still owns it.

Not only they own it but their entire gaming position with Steam is thanks to Half-Life 2 forcing everyone to download it (and pretty much everyone hated Steam at the time).

Actually the beta release of Steam with CSS worked fine and dandy (I recall fun times), but the general release was just plain crap for months afterwards.

I mean it fucked all of the devs morale and the situation of HL2 for months after that. I remember downloading the leak and playing around, it was a shit show.
