Big Steam News

[asspennies]

WON wasn't a content delivery system, and I don't recall it having problems like steam.



But Steam is something pretty new, especially for such a huge audience. It's bound to have growing pains.



Remember, Gabe came from Microsoft. I bet Version 3 will knock you all on your coal-mining asses.

Any mindless and senseless comments bashing VALVe and/or Steam below this post will be deleted. Watch your mouths, children.



To address Steam Improvments, as of right now, I am a big fan of Steam and feel there are no current problems with mine. I, however, welcome any optimization with open arms.

You should link to the source in your news post. Of course I know the source, but do the readers? Keep up the good work!

Very sorry rizzuh (and all the readers). I haven't had hardly any sleep (no excuse really excuses this) so...

[Thortok2000]

Don't worry about it. We're happy anyway.

What does the bit about cheaters mean? This bit:

The process of banning Steam accounts with bad (or duplicate) CD keys was behind for a while, but the servers which handle these transactions have caught up with the backlog. This means that many of the people currently using cheats in CS are dissappearing.

When we were banning people, they weren't getting banned? I was oblivious.



I assume Nathan was paraphrasing Valve, because they do not make reference to more and more cheaters disappearing everyday.

Stay tuned for details of how you can help us test the network (and get some free stuff in the process).

Woo-hoo your free I <3 steam t-shirts are in the mail kiddies!

That "patch" recall was a pretty good test of bandwidth I'd say we're set. As for CZ gimmie gimmie gimme. Valve = Bliss.

*chuckles* Nate really is sleepy. Your link has [/link at the end of it.



You could also link directly to the news article instead of the news page, so that this CSNation post stays current...?



Get the official word here or perhaps here instead.
