Valve bans 30k CD keys

By Usayd

Valve has announced that they have banned another 30,000 steam accounts which had been used to try to illegally gain access to Valve games without a valid purchase. Only last month 20,000 accounts were banned for the same reason, only this time Valve states that, ‘The accounts that are disabled today will not be reactivated’.

There was quite a clever comment on the page too - I kinda agree with it:

If you can’t afford it, and you pirate it, it’s not a lost sale.
There would never have been a sale.

Well whatever the case, piracy evidently doesn’t always prevail…
