Entering a cdkey in to steam for hl2 and then ripping out your net connection. I don't
see how this "method" could be possibly fixed without some sort of rewrite of
the authorisation handling code for steam (which I am assuming is no small task).
I don't think it was wise to post this to the list as any fix that is in the
pipeline could be a while away and it doesn't matter how many people you
'educate' to the unlocking method, it won't get it fixed any quicker.
IF you were posting a game exploit or a hack etc then that's understandable but
this type of post is just idiotic and I am sure any Valve employee that read
your post felt that little bit sicker about their product getting ripped off by
even more people.
For someone who thinks 'He knows best' you think you'd bother to wrap
your lines.
The information was already public, and other than valve who cares if
some people get HL2 for free, it doesnt effect my ability to play it.
Maybe thatll be the key to getting valve off their fat lazy asses,
remove the donuts from their mouths, and actually deliver us a product
worth paying for.
