heh, it's not like they need to buy anything to get a new steamid :|
VALVe have done a fair bit for us, at least they haven't turned into a MMORPG style forced pay-per-month after you buy the game initially (whoever came up with that idea was mentally dull - I mean, what if you don't -want- the 'free' expansion packs that come with them :p).
Yar, so anyway, they don't have anything to gain by keeping VAC updated other then a bit of respect atm, since the vac disabler + non-steam pretty much put the idea of paying money for a new key after cheating out of the situation.

They don't gain money from that old game? Come on... 10 bucks to be payed by a cheater who was catched by VAC. There are enough outside I think. Players changing their steam IDs due to a VAC catch, only to be able to play ESL and so on... Valve gained a lot of money in selling CZ. More money they gained after they published that CS:S beta will only be able to CZ users... (and more bought CZ).
Valve still has a responsibility to the community. For me I can say, that CS:S is not my multiplayer future. Just in time I'm playing more and more bfv and et ;)
We've currently changed our 3 public servers from VAC to CD (optional w/ mediator)

meh, the problem is that stupid vac disabler which makes VAC useless. If that were eliminated it'd probably be a whole lot more useful - at the moment enabling VAC on your servers is the same as not when it comes to an "informed" cheater.
They don't gain money out of keeping up anti-cheat protection on a seven year old game though :/

LOL, gotta love the mentally retarded trolls. That sentence held zero content of useful information.
But that is the problem, it is not updated as frequently as the alternative 3rd party software. We have had VAC for a couple of years now and it has had only one period of maybe 2 months where it was updated on a regular basis. From past experience, there is nothing to show that this is going to change any time soon.
