A server is a legitimate install, and it requires no CD-Key.

IIRC you cannot create a STEAM Account (supposedly) unless you have a legitamate install of the game, which you can't do without a valid CD key, or that is how it used to work.
Oh well
Goodbye Valve & STEAM I guess

It seems everyone thinks a STEAMID is linked to a CD-KEY.
It's not.
The STEAMID is assigned when you make the account, for example, I have an account I never put a CD-KEY on until recently, and my STEAMID is around 1000.
They then just use an exploit to make the games available to them by screwing with one of the cache files.
Solution: Check CD-KEY that's tied to the game when they try to launch the game, and DO NOT cache it, it worked like that with WON when trying to connect to a multiplayer game, why can't it work like that in steam?
