-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The engine is not bolted shut, I can open the hood of my car. I can do anything I want inside there, change spark plugs, bore it out, put a new battery in. Infact I can even build my own engine to put in the car (mod).
The thing is be patient, valve has to pay their employees some how and if they spend there entire budget on anti-cheat... bye bye valve. I suspect that there is a lack of an update to VAC because the original VAC wont cooperate with the Source Engine... so they have to make a new one. And only working 8 to 10 hours a day it can take some time. Yelling about it isn't gonna make it show up faster. Remember what happens when you get want you want to early... An unfunctional game, system, or product. -------Original Message------- From: [email protected] Date: 01/25/05 13:56:53 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Valve's Business & Cheats Richard Welsh wrote: > If you think Valve is responsible to make an anti-cheat you are > mistaking.

It's a good analogy, Richard, but you left out the part where the car maker bolts their engine shut, assumes responsibility for preventing speeding and prohibits others from doing anything more than putting up little speed limit signs on the roads. Valve accepted responsibility for anti-cheat technology by starting VAC. They told Punkbuster to bugger off, and disabled a key part of HLGuard's previous prevention methods. The community's tried to work around it, but there's not a whole lot they can do without putting a larger burden on a mostly clueless and lazy playerbase (i.e., Cheating-Death). -- ironchef http://www.dexworld.org/ _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
