Oh, I am sorry. I just saw some of your other posts in other threads.
I have been trying to give logical, neutral answers to your questions,
but you don't seem to want to listen and would rather be abusive.
Have you written to valve about your problem?
Fact: steam is here, has been for some time, WON is no longer used.
Fact: if you pay just $10, or whatever, you can enjoy playing your game
as you did before. If $10 is too high a price for you to pay for some
entertainment, then don't do it.
Fact: there are some old, won based servers out there without
authentication that you could still use, but good luck amongst the
hackers.
Fact: steam did not steal your CD key, some anonymous turd did.
Fact: if you don't like steam so much, then noone is forcing you to use
it. You know, there are other games out there, man. Some of them are
even good. And they don't use steam. I am sure they even have TFC-like
mods.
Over and out.
