Wait do I need one login token for each server up to 50? Or can one token be
used for 50 servers?

Perhaps a good compromise would be non-VoIP number *or* Steam level restriction?

Potentially limit the amount of phone changes you can have between numbers
considered VOIP numbers. Honestly it's a hard issue. Getting a new VOIP number
to create an alt to re-register servers is easy. Getting a new proper phone
number is not quite as easy.

Q. So people need to have landlines to run servers now?
A. No. But there are currently restrictions on what constitutes a qualifying
phone number. VOIP / burner numbers are currently non-qualifying.
I urge you to rethink this, at least for some cases.
For me and I'm sure at least some others, the reverse is true. A "VOIP"
number (Google Voice) is my primary number and is thus tied to my Steam
account. Whatever cell number(s) that points to at any time is
considered transient - I can change providers without my primary number
being affected.
Now, after stage three has been completed, I'll personally not be able
to run a test server that I can join to test plugins or do other
development without resorting to borrowing a GSLT from someone else or
not being able to use my primary phone number for my Steam account's
security.

Q. What is the purpose of
this update?
A. We had intended to adopt Favorites migration from TF2
for some time now. Game Server Providers' complaint about the impact
that the current IP banning method has on their operation has made this
more urgent since with this feature we'll also be able to shield GSPs
from bad actors.
Q. Is this [ new method ] just to generate the
token, or if this occurs will the tokens become invalid while that
ban/lock is in place?
A. Any such or similar infraction by the GSLT
owning Steam User will result in the disabling of all of that user's
GSLTs.
Q. So does this mean I can't run a CS:GO server unless I
own CS:GO?
A. That will be correct as of Stage 3.
Q. So people
need to have landlines to run servers now?
A. No. But there are
currently restrictions on what constitutes a qualifying phone number.
VOIP / burner numbers are currently non-qualifying.
Q. What
specifically happens if you don't log into an account after stage three?
A.
The result will be identical to the current IP ban: players will not be
able to connect.
Q. So can these tokens be used in place of the
webapi_authkey ? will we need BOTH keys now to use the workshop?
A.
The webapi authkey was previously an intermediate step to creating a
GSLT. It is no longer necessary.
Q. And just to be clear, it's 50
at any one time, not 50 total lifetime, correct?
A. Correct. You can
delete unused GSLTs and generate new ones. We're reevaluating the 50
token limit.
Q. Why don't my previously registered servers show
up?
A. Fixed.
