        Valve disabled an additional 30,000 Steam user accounts that were found "to illegally gain access to Valve games without a valid purchase".

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. Here's the quote for non-Steam forum members.

 

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. - Erik Johnson (Valve)

It looks like somebody is getting a lump of coal this Christmas.

I'd like to know what determines an account trying to gain illegal access to games.

 

I also wonder if there is a time frame on these accounts. Were some of these accounts trying to pirate the original HL years ago? Or were they all since the last time they had their mass account disablement?
