I cant say that i am too concerned about steam... if it took them less than 3 days to break doom3 copy protection..... (yea i know its SF), then it wont take them 7 to write a "Authorization server emulator". or to just chuck the whole check out of the game all together....
it is irritating though.... there shouldnt HAVE to be hacking involved just to play your game when you are forced to go to gramma's farm in the middle of the rockies mountains.
