Eric - Is there any clarity Valve can share on which games this change will occur with next? CS:S? HL2MP? HL1DM(Source)MP?
Also, is this planned eventually for GoldSrc-based titles as well? (HL1, CS, DMC, TFC, DoD, etc.)? or will it only effect Source-based titles? I ask because, although work-around's are now in-place/available for various server-side mods (such as SourceMod and SourceBans) for Source-engine games - I do not think anything has been done yet with preparing server-side mods (such as AMX-Mod-X and possibly AMX-Bans) for GoldSrc-based games.
