Hopefully VAC2 will work ONLY for Source games and ONLY on secure servers. I would love to have one single focused platform which Valve continually updates instead of them trying to half-ass support everything out there. Let's move forward with Source and make secure servers the place to play!

Why would you think a kid who sits on his ass all day while mom and dad pay the bills will have the time and money to say hmm let me sue valve because I need to cheat Playing on a insecure server especially without CD is asking for trouble IMO lol To say you do not understand EULA/TOS when it clearly states click YES if you understand it won't work with a good prosecution team. You just threw your right to sue away!
