I guess they're just kids without a job using their home computer

Wow maybe Valve is making some money with Steam...



If these guys are dumb enough to break the EULA with steam accounts full of legit games and get caught, then Valve will make a ton of money using this paroleware when they buy their games a second time.



Moral of the story... If you're a warez monkey use a Steam emulator. Or is it crime doesn't pay?

30,000 isn't much when you look at the entire size of the CS community.

You say that as if the entire CS community is warezing the game. If 40,000 of them were doing it, then 30,000 banned is a hell of a lot.

Who says this was the last round of banning by Valve? I suspect plenty more in the near future...

[VuLLrath]

No sir. In fact, I'll jump in a game of HL2DM right now.



I love Valve.

Valve has 2,351,399 unique users per month using the Steam system. 30,000 is ~1.3% of that. http://www.steampowered.com/status/game_stats.html

*Sigh* back to this again, eh?



We're talking about a game that requires internet-activation. I can't believe this is still an issue.



As far as banning accounts of people who have since purchased HL2, I remain firm in my conviction that it is absolutely wrong to do so, whether you can legally get away with it or not. Yes, it's the minority of the cases, but wronging a few still isn't right.



The cheating aspect has gotten worse and worse lately, I'll agree. I've been unable to go a day of playing in the past few weeks without seeing speedhacks and aimbots in addition to the more subtle use of wallhacks that we're all sadly almost used to at this point. If no admin is around, it's literally as bad as CS1.3 was -- VAC is a nearly worthless anti-cheat at this point. :-\
