Today Valve disabled more than 30,000 Steam accounts which had been used to try to illegally gain access to Valve games without a valid purchase.

Valve takes such activities seriously and reserves the right to disable Steam accounts engaging in piracy, cheating, illegal activities, or any other activity in violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement. The accounts that are disabled today will not be reactivated.


Thats 50,000 accounts total.... blink.gif

steam valve is this program gaming thing that you can play counterstrike,hl,hl2,dod,tfc multiplayer and stuff. and you register your email for an account..and once you hack you get your cdkey banned which usualy means your account is no longer useful

I remeber like 2 years ago, you didnt need a cdkey to play games on steam, then a few months later you needed a cdkey but they didnt "check" it. then they started checking the keys so if more than one key was being used..you cuoldnt play and so on.

that is old school cd key protection. Now companies like Valve are creating systems like Steam that force you to connect to the internet and interface to a Valve server to launch the game. No cdkey=game won't launch, wrong cdkey=your acct is banned and your game is useless.
