Dawn of War 2 Not Available!!?

I've just bought Dawn of War 2, and went through the installation process, then it gave me a CD Key which I have written down.

But whenever I try to play the game, I get a message from Steam telling me that the game is currently unavailable. Now I don't expect to pay good money for a game only to be able to play it at some one else's convenience.

In my rant, I almost forgot the question.

Is this what the future of PC gaming is likely to be?

If so I am glad that I've got and an Xbox 360 and PS3!!

I am all for stopping piracy, but not with this farce.

So Relic and THQ can stick their games up their ****.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Is it likely to become common practice, that paying customers have to go through as big a rigmarole, to actually get their games working, as those who illegally download them from torrents?

    I got this too when I first started the game, it may just need to update the game before you can play it. It may take a while b/c there are a few updates so far. I would say just try it again, but I do agree with you that Stream is a bunch of horses**t.

    I wasn't able to play Half-Life 2 for a while because I had a wireless router and Steam wouldn't let you connect over it. Such a dumb way to let people play games they already payed for.
