Now THAT's wrong.
Yes, but what if you're one of the people that used a no-cd crack due to CD read problems caused by the Securom protection, among other things? That sort of thing happened to people here with Brave Soul, if I remember correctly. How would you feel if you were then banned permanently and without warning from their server, preventing you from playing the game you bought, or any game they release in the future?
I'm not saying that using a no-cd crack is the best course of action to take in this sort of situation, but I'm sure plenty of people saw it as a quick and simple solution, and did it nonetheless. Is this fair to them? At the very least, can you see that the extreme measure Valve has taken is controversial? Or are you that completely certain that Valve has the absolute moral right in the matter?
