Sooner or later Valve will be forced to find a publisher. I don't think Steam will be able to keep them in black forever. I hope a huge public backlash forces them to see things from a different prespectives, one where the reality is low bandwidth, download caps, paper-money and stuff.
@Icecoolz: Nah mate, Starforce 3 hasen't been cracked yet. The link that you are talking about uses Starf*ck method of bypassing the softwares protection check by simply disbaling the optical drives. Alternatively, the CD images can be mounted on an external USB drive to make the game work. But even that is not a foolproof method to make a game protected with Starforce 3 work. Seems like many more games will follow suite and use Starforce 3.
Well enough said on off-topic. Lets get back to Valve bashing!
