A Half Life 2 site reports that Valve has released a 'warez version' of Half Life 2 which is distributing through the Bittorent network. According to that site this warez version from Valve keeps track of people that downloading it and will ban these people from the Steam network.
We're running a bit of an experiment. We're keeping track of the accounts that do this and will be shutting them off.
So, as you can see, VALVe Software have released a test "warez" version aimed at catching people out. These people will have their accounts deleted and will be banned from Steam.
