Valve never learns

Surely this is the first time they have been hacked ? No ? Somebody hacked their servers before and released the Half Life source on the net ? :-)

It is touching to see how greatly Valve have improved their security after the first incident.

BTW, I have sworn to never use Valve products while they continue to _require_ Internet connection for a single player game. You purchase a game, but you do not own it because it must "activated" _periodically_ over the Internet.

Now I sure am glad that they don't have my credit card info on their servers :-)
