VALVe > Idiots -
08-27-2004, 10:34 AM
Heh, VALVe disabled a bunch of accounts that used dodgy credit card numbers and (probably) CD keys, as detailed over on [url=http://www.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=121263&perpage=15&pagen umber=1:11f59]this[/url:11f59] thread on the Steampowered forums. This was the post that caught my eye, made by Taylor Sherman, a VALVe employee, in reply to a homomonkey called "Paulianer".
[quote="Taylor Sherman":11f59][quote="Paulianer ":11f59]
Yes, let's hope they don't start it like Blizzard, where some accounts where disabled without any reason. I hope they are man enough to realize that it was a mistake in my case and that they reactivate it. [/quote:11f59]
Hmm, let's see:
7 attempts to use stolen or fake cd-keys
11 attempts to use an invalid credit-card number to purchase CZ
All from the Steam account w/ the same name as the email address you used to sign up on the forums with. All from the computer you are using to post on the forums with.
Can you point out the mistake we made?[/quote:11f59]

valve is a gaming company, they made half-life and own several of the mods for it. They also created steam. A (supposedly) easy to use application that accesses all of the valve made games, you can also buy games off of it. Steam can also track things you do (like trying to steal CD-keys for valve made games). oOo:
