I have read many posts and forums about people complaining to valve about steam servers, audio skipping, and several other problems. Valve does not seem to respond with concern or sympathy. They have our money and that's it.
I have read that even a no-cd patch could get your steam account closed.
I have even read that many people do not have the audio skipping with their pirated games. Doesn't make sense.
There will always be hackers and pirates. Valve only slowed them down.
Make a great game, sell it at a reasonable price, and people will buy it.
Maybe Doom 3, Far Cry, and any other game I have do not look as good as HL 2, but I can play them, anytime, anywhere, and without the internet.
