I just realized something.... CSS already has cracks to make it work, as well as all the older valve games, and its practically a sure bet that HL2 will get cracked as well.......
and i was just wondering, isnt steam providing and excellent pirate content delivery system?
say i make an account, and buy all the games right? Then i crack them all so i dont have to connect to steam to play. I logout of steam and give my username and password to my friend, HE downloads all the games, applies all cracks, done. Then he passes on the account, ad infinitum.
Pirates wont even have to find somewhere to download the game anymore, since steam will be providing them itself....
Now that just popped to my head for the first time about a minute ago when i was reading another thread about piracy and i wanted to ask, since i dont have any Valve games yet and am waiting for HL2 to come out, i dont have any experience with steam, so is there some sort of system to stop this from happening??????
