Firstly, I would encourage you to get your definition of 'hacker' correct before you start shaking your finger at them.
> I think Valve is triing to become the next Microsoft. The Steam tools > is crappy, and damage users gameplay with delays and failures, and > restrict singleplayer ability. Its the first step of a highly > dangerous technology to damage freedom: DRM. How have they done any of that? That is just your personal experience. It hasn't changed the way that authentication is done, it hasn't introduced any new DRM, it hasn't restricted anything that you couldn't do before. All it is, is a new way to deliver Valve's content, authenticate to the servers (which were WON until Steam) and update the games. > Valve as work dirty in the past. Unable Quake1 developpers to use > both tools and some media into Quake1. When you take the Q1 engine, mix in stuff from Q2 and your own custom modifications, I'd love to see you do anything like backwards compatability with Q1. Valve licensed the Q1 engine fair and square and had no obligation, need or want to make it backwards compatable. > Abducting good mods inside > (like Counter-Strike). Valve overload the market with his product, > that unable oportunitys for other developers. Valve write nazi > Licenses. Abducting? I'm assuming that gooseman agreed to having his MOD commercialised, otherwise Valve faces some serious charges. And where are these nazi licenses, valve are incredibly nice with their MOD licenses. > If you think now the target is Valve. Please re-think. Its not cool to > fuck a lot of people that where triing to get his fun from this. And > Its not cool to fuck people doing fun games for all of us. If you have > fun hacking, download Uplink game. Might want to address that one to the CRACKER community. -Philip _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
