-- -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I still say the odds of Valve taking someone's paid for game away because of their attitude will not happen. They legally cannot take away a game for that. The MOST they can do is ban him from here and/or the forums and nothing more
They've even stated that, even though in the EULA it says they can ban a cheaters account, it wouldn't be legal for them to do so. They must still allow access to their games albeit on insecure servers. Posting your opinion in a calm manner is fine & the right way to do so. MOST people in their forums do post that way. But you do get the odd 'tard that rants like a trucker expecting help or something. -------Original Message------- From: Edward Luna Date: 03/31/06 13:56:59 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] Disabled Account IMHO... if the guy in question was as belligerent back then as he was in his recent posts here, I can at least understand why Valve may have disabled his account. That doesn't mean I think it's right for them to do it... but hey, these guys at Valve take an awful lot of crap from people and we all have a point beyond which we are unwilling to go. The truth is... I agreed with some of what the guy said (not all, but some) but he made it impossible for others to support him due to the way he presented his case, and the attempt to get the home address of Alfred just went way over the top. I don't think the guy actually thought he would get it... but it prolly made him feel better just to let others know how strongly he felt. Some of his valid points should be addressed in an open forum but just leave the nastiness out of it. Lets face it, we've all experienced it... servers are chugging along just fine when a update comes out... we dutifully run the update tool (which I think is a great concept) and bang... our servers are down... or some peeps can't login... or there are authorization problems... etc. It is very frustrating when these things happen... but I'll bet it's even more frustrating for the Valve guys. Does that mean we shouldn't mention it or take them to task when they screw up royally? Certainly not... but it should be done in a constructive way... not the way that guy did it. We need Valve to keep doing what they do... just do it better... be as responsive as is reasonably possible to the needs of the your customers, and we'll all be better off. IMHO...

Do not think so. Name one company that disables anything because of someone's opinion. Get real. Not happening. Valve wouldn't disable his account for it being logged into from another location when that's one o0f the main points of steam in the first place. To be used anywhere on any PC across the globe. -------Original Message------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 03/31/06 12:25:24 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Disabled Account You know the internal working's of valve better than they do. Got it. Anytime I need an official response, I know who to go to now. If he's 35, I imagine his son is still living at home. So unless valve's software comes with fingerprint scanners within the household, give up the EULA crap. I highly doubt valve would suspend his account just because another computer in the home has logged onto it. I'm also going to guess that his network is NAT'd so even if it was on another computer, valve wouldn't be able to tell the difference because the global address would be the same regardless. Quit being so freaking close minded and go hug a tree. /p Quoting DL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > -- > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > They don't disable for opinions!
