I too would be willing to pay a nominal fee for the guarantee of VAC being updated regularly and a cheater free server.

It should not be possible to get a running cheat for longer than xx hours. Maybe they invent the cheater-free dedicated server with a small license of ~2-5$ a month. I would pay for. But in future I will not buy a game without cheatprotection! Punkbuster is going the right way with guid and hardware id ;) (with the hardware ID ban valve will no longer gain extra cash from cheaters ^^) [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb am 21.10.04 11:17:30: > > 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. > > - Bruce "Bahamut" Andrews > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >They don't gain money from that old game?
