http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2787 Something tells me it's going to be like PSP's custom firmware, or a game company's anti-piracy stuff. People are going to figure out how to get around it. If not, we're going to have to actually play the game :<

yeah it sucks, but read this: "Meanwhile, everyone who took the moral high road will soon be finding a new hat in their inventory. We've also significantly increased the chance of finding any of the existing hats." higher chance of getting hats now, and anybody that used it or uses it will find a hat in their inventory(probably robins hat of shame, the up's: 100% crits towards you. downs: this is the only item you will ever get)

I really don't appreciate Valve pulling off something like this without having given a real warning.

Well that's Valve for ya. Always pissin' off the loyal customers. Maybe they can put all this hard work to stopping cheating that doesn't even matter (since there's no in game currency, meaning there's no inflation or anything like a real RPG) to working on Episode 3. These guys are insane.

I see nothing wrong with this, if anything, I am on there side, there is nothing wrong with earning items, if you don't want to take the effort to earn these items, then you won't have them.

I knew this would happen. VALVe was never really light on cheating.

At least there's no VAC'ing for it. That would be a load of crap. Wonder if some god at LUA coding would make a script that a lot of servers would love to use to let people team kill anyone wearing Halos. That would be fun as hell.

Oh really?
How about this:

You agree that you will be personally responsible for the use of your Account and for all of the communication and activity on Steam that results from use of your Account. Your online conduct and interaction with other subscribers should be guided by common sense and basic etiquette. Specific requirements may also be found in the Steam Online Conduct rules at http://steampowered.com/index.php?area=online_conduct, other Rules of Use, the Subscription Terms, or in terms of use required by third parties who host particular games or other services.

Steam and the Steam Software may include functionality designed to identify software or hardware processes or functionality that may give a player an unfair competitive advantage when playing multiplayer versions of any Steam Software, other Valve products, or modifications thereof ("Cheats"). You agree that you will not create or assist third parties in any way to create Cheats. You agree that you will not directly or indirectly disable, circumvent, or otherwise interfere with the operation of software designed to prevent or report the use of Cheats. You acknowledge and agree that either Valve or any online multiplayer host may refuse to allow you to participate in certain online multiplayer games if you use Cheats in connection with Steam or the Steam Software. Further, you acknowledge and agree that an online multiplayer host may report your use of Cheats to Valve, and Valve may communicate your history of use of Cheats to other online multiplayer hosts for Valve products.

They could've banned cheaters but they've decided to leave them alone.
Yet. They're raging.
