Yes, heaven forbid we discuss anything other than cheaters on this list (hlds_h4x0r list?). We clamor on about the cheaters and the cheating and the horrible state of the world in which we live, but in the end, what can we do? Can we hold a blade to Valve's throat and demand action? When did Valve "get away with" anything? Are you so unaware that you think maybe integrating VAC into every "officially supported" mod is easy, that it wouldn't be a rather large undertaking to put out a complete client release every time they come up with a major update for VAC? Are you insinuating that Valve doesn't have the slightest inclination to support their product--one that continues to sell, utilizing a bed of beta testers of the magnitude that few outside Redmond ever get the chance to even imagine? Whether they just can't cut it, I don't know, but I certainly doubt it's for lack of caring. -- Eric (the Deacon remix) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
