Probably more an issue of deploying one solution\architecture and then having
the business flipflop and tack on all sorts of new requirements that don't fit
the original design or not.. Since we dont work there, and I'm sure nobody
there will d

The silence isn't the slightest bit bizzare, it's just a repeat of the
past. Remember when they missed the HL2 deadline of September, and the

I'm not trying to diss valve really but the only thing that would over
complicate things would be a bad design from the get go that they would have to
patch or build around, even then it's quite doable, though may not be as
straight forward as it seems at first glance. Look we all have to under

Hey folks,
There seems to be a large number of threads coming up on the lists
asking some legitimate questions and getting overlooked by Valve staff,
such as the state/progress of VAC and getting rid of all the no-steam
hacks. The threads are full of speculation, but some of you have hinted

You are all familiar with the expression "The wheels have fallen off" ??
In this case it appears the wheels were never put on, in fact I don't
think wheels were even a design consideration even though wheels were
the main enabler of the technology in the first place!

I don't buy that...There is no reason they can't comment on this one way or

Everyone calm down a minute and think about the overall scope of things.
Valve is known for creating at least one, if not several of the most awesome
games we have ever played. Development has ALWAYS been plagued by missed
deadlines, stolen code, and more missed deadlines.

Nah. You're only talking about 2.5 million records really. (2.3

Even a desktop database like Micr
Thats my point, the amount of records we are talking about is not that
large when you have worked with decent sized databases.
I guess you have:

Contact E-mail

Secret Question

CD-Key

So about 7 basic fields per user and I guess you would have times an
