Valve just banned 20,000 Steam accounts on grounds of using a CD exploit to obtain a free copy of HL2. I hate Steam. I get the feeling that every time I try to play HL2, Big Brother is watching over my shoulder and giving me permission to play the damned game I already paid for.

Slashdot article on this mess.

I really like what the guy said in that article:
