have you hear the news about steal sources from developers of Half Life series...? from what I know it seems that from developers was stealed and later published source codes of HL2; CS; TF; HL; DoD; TF2 and the most important sources for Steam... which would allow hackers to exploit network which was originally created for distributing patches and bug fixes, secure shopping and such... so you probably can imagine how serious could be results of exploiting security of such network?

well, pretty bad really
they have the source code for the (probably)the best game to come out this year. the folks with the code will be able to alter the whole game when it comes out if they wish, before with HL playing online was impossible because of valve and seirra's cdkey's. with them knowing the source code they will be able to crack it even easier, mods will turn into retail games for download,without even needing the game.

well, that is what i think will happen
