I'm certain Steam knows about the torrents and that it's illegal for these players to be playing, but there isn't really a way except for a case-by-case way of banning them or restricting their game play if they have server access beyond Steam's control.
There's hundreds of millions of players on Steam playing all sorts of hacked and cracked games.

And if wL supports that, then I suppose that's just what we'll have to deal with.
Honestly, I think it's the only issue on the servers I've actually encountered. So that's pretty good.

Double post

Or what if I said it like this, and this is just a civil debate, so there's no hate involved—

What is the point of having paid-for reserve slots, when you allow people who's hacked the game, access to your servers?

Food for thought, seeing as there's regularly 3-4 nosteamers in Popular Maps #2.
That's 3-4 slots for paying players.
