clients have been authed for halflife for 5 years now so it's not likely that they'll just arbitrarily turn them off and be like 'sorry no more gaming'. soldier of fortune was another game that relied on authenticating with a server at first. raven decided they didnt want to support it and so now clients dont have to auth. and to call valve a company that doesnt give a damn makes you look assinine. what other game company has supported a product with updates for over 5 years? not just patches but releasing new content.
MS ran the event, and they handed out copies of the software and told us it was ok to use for non commercial purposes. they have personal information regarding the attendees (i know because i attended one of the events) and they gave out other materials besides just the VS.Net suite so you can prove that you obtained a copy legitly and that it is ok for you to be using it if the BSA or whomever wanted proof. hell i dont even have a proper product key because the one printed on the sticker given to me didnt work. they sent me another through email. the guy that made the website is just a jackass stirring up the shitpot and the parent of this thread needs to pull himself out of 1984 and back into reality.
i got one as a hand me down. battery lasts about 15 minutes. the battery gauge drains sort of normal for the first 12% or so (albeit on the fast side) but then it will plummet to 5%. i was told that the battery was replaced 3 times already during the warranty period and it would basically get to the point where it's unusable in about 4 months.
