So...

• Musk made the offer.
• it was established it was illegal.
• he did it anyway.
• ????

Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups.

Not sure I agree, how else are they meant to prevent the ocean of "It wasn't me, it was my brother" excuses from hackers smurfing accounts?

I'd recommend (to everyone) that if you're unsure -or have even the slightest doubt about the person you're going to give access to your Steam account- to politely decline and play it safe.

I quit by switching to vaping and then working the nicotine level down to nothing and then quitting that. Whatever you decide to do I wish you the best of luck (and stick with it!)

My gratitude goes first and foremost to Valve for trying.

I had a very dear friend pass this year from Pancreatic cancer.

The dogshit thing about Pancreatic cancer (aside from it being cancer) is you generally don't feel unwell until you're quite advanced with it / stage 4 (terminal). That is what happened in my friends case. They gave so much in their short life and had so much more to give.

I'm sorry, I don't think my comment was overtly substantial; I wanted to echo your point about how insidious cancer can be.

For those interested;

Watch out 3% - we're coming for you!

Unless I've misunderstood; that's exactly why I asked the question in my original comment. I'll explain my / the reasoning:

I own a game on a Steam account (A) and want to hack (and evade bans) using another Steam account (B).

I share my library/game from account (A) to account (B) then hack on account B and only account B gets banned... What's to then stop me from making Steam account C, D, E, F... etc? Absolutely nothing. Hence the double ban.

I stress that if you do share a game / your Steam library with others you trust them explicitly.

Last time I complain about British weather (today at least)

Yeah, that shit is super annoying, it's been happening for years. I'm surprised they haven't turned it into a self contained updater or something by now. It's part of the reason I don't use it anymore.

Holy cow... $960,000 per missile!

"They're eating the GOGs!"

we had the same "we could use that money for our people!" with Brexit. Guess what? spoiler; the money doesn't go to "the people".

"Usual suspects" crowd being the usual suspects.

Hmmmm.

We're losing out on money by keeping it illegal (taxation) and using taxpayer money trying to stop it?

In our two party system both Cons and Labour don't want sensible drug reform either... Somebody make it make sense?

I found this way more funnier than I should have.

ALARM! ALARM!
