I sort of agree with the "can't blame Vivendi" sentiment. But for different reasons. I blame Valve for creating Steam and tying the game so closely to it that it can actually be disabled. Vivendi is using the feature, but Valve created it. Bad Valve. Doesn't it scare anyone else that the game they buy from the store on CD can be turned off even for single-player, non-network play? -Kevin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:135884 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
