Yes, that's how it works. In exceptional circumstances, you may be able to get Steam support to revoke a key and apply it to your account, e.g. if you purchased a brand new game, the key had already been activated, and the retailer won't ta

I'd say it was onerous at the time. Steam brought an "always-online" component (offline mode was utterly broken for years) to games you may have bought years prior, and this was in 2002/2003. In 2013, it's basically the status quo and other

I've always been amazed at how they managed to cultivate such zealotry in the gaming community despite being one of the first developers to push (what was at the time, onerous and nearly unprecedented) DRM on their current user-base. Not to

Steam has (and has had for a while) an offline mode, but it doesn't work reliably for some. If you go through the release notes for the Steam client over the past few years, you can see instances of Valve "fixing" offline mode. You also hav

It's unlikely that you'll be able to play TDM without a copy of Doom 3 for the foreseeable future. TDM reuses a number of Doom 3 assets and those are not included with the open source release of the engine.

Yes, this is XSSI and the exploit comes in because a JSON array is essentially treated as "executable" code in some JS implementations. Here are a couple of resources that go a litle more into XSSI: Google tech talk: http://www.youtube.com
