More Steam Bans [Dec 23, 2004, 09:39 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
Steam Users Forums (thanks Half-Life
Fallout and
Voodoo
Extreme) has news that another 30,000
Steam accounts have been banned for attempting to gain illegal access to games that they had
not purchased. Word from Valve's Erik Johnson is:
Valve takes such activities seriously and reserves the right to disable Steam accounts engaging in piracy, cheating, illegal activities, or any other activity in violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement. The accounts that are disabled today will not be reactivated.
To put speculations to an end:
official release date HL²-original: Nov 16
first appearance of working steam-rips on the net: Nov 18
If your talking about the Emporio release it was "nuked" - along with all the fixes, most people who actually got it to run at all were banned in the first round of steam accounts that were shut down. Maybe it worked for 1% but who really wants to risk the chance.
The Vengence release on the 28th was the first rip that wasn't "nuked". 2 days may be no victory but 12 is a huge one!
