Valve Hands out 30,000 Lumps of Coal

71
Some of you may recall the first round of Steam bannings and it looks like Valve isnt done. If you play naughty you dont get to play at all. 30,000 more people were banned today for things like cheating or entering 50 different fake CC #'s for example. The statement from Valve:

Today Valve disabled more than 30,000 Steam accounts which had been used to try to illegally gain access to Valve games without a valid purchase.

Valve takes such activities seriously and reserves the right to disable Steam accounts engaging in piracy, cheating, illegal activities, or any other activity in violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement. The accounts that are disabled today will not be reactivated.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
