I am one of those who has purchased a legal copy of the game from Valve and
cannot play.

It's not a patch, it's an illegal crack.  The law is the law, and at least in
the United States cracks are still illegal under the DMCA.  If Valve came out
and said it was OK to use it temporarily then things would be different, but
the chances of them doing that are nil.

Think of this as a lesson in why you should never, ever buy a product before
you try it....
