Steam Cracked?

Steam Hacked, Credit Cards May Be Exposed on Gameworld Network reports indications that the Steam system may have suffered a security breach. Some seemingly private information has been posted to a Steam-haters forum, along with a threat to expose further customer data. The breach has not been confirmed.

No, I understand your analogy. But Microsoft released those features after they recieved a lot of grumbling from their customers, not through any sign of goodwill. And do you really think so? Well, let's see...what about the multiplayer games that require you to use their service for multiplayer? Like Warcraft/Starcraft? Or GPGnet for Supreme Commander? And then you have games with such crappy multiplayer supports that you wish they had some sort of service like those, like Ghost Recon 2 when it first came out.

Steam is much more than just a heinous means of copyright enforcement. It is also the means by which Valve monitors its customers and sells crap to them. It's a triple threat.

So let me see, you like Half-life and Half-life 2, and yet here you are calling them crap? Is Red Orchestra crap as well? Or The Ship? Well, the ship might be crap, but I enjoy Red Orchestra. How about Team Fortress 2 when it comes out? I don't like the direction they took with it, but I'll check out a demo of it if they have one. I understand your complaint of Valve, and I can see your concern. Personally, I'm not doing anything to warrant the removal of my ability to play games, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, if I ever do. There are many other games out there to play that I enjoy, so it's not going to kill me to not play my games anymore. If you're so violently opposed to Steam, then don't use it. Your arguments here are doing nothing to convince people it's evil, as you've already stated I'm a sycophantic idiot. I've had no major problems with Steam, so I'm not going to hate it simply because someone else has. Otherwise, I'd hate every game or game company out there. Though I will say that EA is on my shitlist.
