Yes, Ravnox. Thank you guys for your answers. And excuse me for my bad english I see many of my questions are perceived not entirely correct. Postrayus easy to explain. And I hope that anyone of you would clarify We want to open the game hosting. We plan to sell only steam server. Only steam. However, in our country a lot of players with a pirated version of the game - potential customers for pirated servers. Steam players is several times smaller. To compete with pirated server hosting is provided, it is very difficult. Since their income will clearly be more due to pirated servers. We want to understand whether or not we engage in this business or not, because if Valve still for such hosting, it is likely that we will not stand the competition, or at least our revenue will be much smaller and therefore we will be more difficult to develop An example of the European hosting http://www.multiplaygameservers.com/game-servers/ (css only license - we are ready to compete with the likes of hosting) http://www.verygames.net/product/13/Game_server/buy_hosting_rental_Server_Only (css only license - we are ready to compete with the likes of hosting) http://www.i3d.net/gamehosting-games.php (css only license - we are ready to compete with the likes of hosting) The situation in our country (3 large hosting) http://www.forteam.ru/ru/services (css only license - we are ready to compete with the likes of hosting) http://www.serva4ok.ru/order (steam + css css the old version - so we will play host to the income and as a result will not be able to fully compete) http://www.myarena.ru/gamemanager.php (steam + css css the old version - so we will play host to the income and as a result will not be able to fully compete) Once again, we are only at the Steam servers. We do not want to sell pirated server. But the omission of Valve put us in an unequal footing with other hosting companies. Therefore, we think that if Valve anyway, it is likely that we do not need to open, or in the long run we will not survive. The market of pirated games in our country is very high ... A couple of questions. 1 css v34, is licensed as a game or it is still a pirate version? (old css) 2 Does it make sense to write in Valve? Sent them several emails, no response. I think they do not particularly interested in such things Thank you for your attention, nadesyu this time I will understand everything correctly. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
