So, basically its the same petition as the first one, just that its now a petition and not some thinly veiled boycott?

Also, why are you guys still asking for Punkbuster? There's VAC now (Which is even designed to regulate dedicated servers) and its something they've paid Valve for already... No need to add another on top.

This petition is for the ppl who have already bought the game...

Which means that using a Steam group appears to be a better solution since they can literally tell who owns the game and who doesn't.

Do you even own the game? Are you aware of how Steam works (Add it as a non-Steam game? Eh?)? Steam CD-keys are forever tied to a Steam account. So, if your Steam account is hacked, your MW2 CD-key is GONE FOR GOOD.

Also, the failure of IWNet to prevent illegal users from using their matchmaking service is a failure on IWNet. VAC still works as it is and is a global fix (PB doesn't actually permban CD-keys on a global level)

Fair enough, but that's really a failing on IW's part. Switching to PB won't exactly fix this issue. Makes more sense to get VAC to work as its supposed to instead.

Well if you're relatively new to Steam, this may be an issue. But for those who've been using Steam for years, this is but a minor complaint.

But that's really a discussion for somewhere else as that is fundamentally an issue with Steam and not this game per-se.

Yeah, IINM that's how VAC works (For client side that is, that's why everyone has a VAC rating)

But now the issue is (From what falk and the TS has mentioned) is that pirated versions can get play on IWNet? Which means someone screwed up the authentication (Kinda like with Borderlands)
