I agree that we need a better solution.  I don't like running untrustworthy
code and I want to be able to receive updates easily.  However, I'm pretty sure
none of your three points are actually a concern:

1) Under the DMCA, circumventing copy protection for the purpose of
interoperability is explicitly permitted (provided, of course, that you do
legally own the thing, and the only reason you need the circumvention is
interoperability).

2) Achievements work fine.  All of the achievements I received in those first
few chapters are in fact showing up in my steam account.

3) I just tested multiplayer.  When connecting via the menus, the server
mysteriously hung half way through loading the first map.  However, I was able
to connect directly from the command line as demonstrated by this script I
found:  http://pastebin.com/SPsQAiVp  I only played for a minute, though, and
the two machines were on the same LAN, both running under WINE (with the same
"patch").  I suspect the hang I experienced is not related to copy protection;
I experienced a similar hang in single-player when I had the video settings too
high.
