Hell, the existance of the thread explained to a great deal of people, which many of them thanked me for in the thread, for explaining to them something were not aware of, and more importantly, an issue 95% of the respondants thought was a very serious issue in a FIRST PERSON SHOOTING game.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the advertising firm placing Subway ads in some servers.

Re: [OT] [hlds] Disabled Account
You had your chance to read the EULA and Subscriber Agreement before purchasing the software. The difference between a car and software is that you own your car. You don't own software, only a license to install and use it. When you do so, you agree to Valve's terms, which are clearly published on http://www.steampowered.com. You're obviously completely delusional, but in the future you may want to read a contract before you agree to it. Common sense would say, at least. > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > After getting a call from their Washington police department for a > "threatening communications in attempting to get their home addresses" > this > subject is dropped.
