Indeed.Oh wait! It has already happened.

That is what awaits you.
That's the second time Valve has shown exactly how much power they've got over their slaves.
First they prevented everyone from playing games that they bought before a magical 'release date'.
And now they're banning people because they dared to buy a cheaper version somewhere else on the internet.
And so it continues ... *this* is exactly why I hate DRM-contaminated systems like Valve's Steam.
I don't care if Steam makes patching/updating easier, because IMHO games should be finished at release. This system only encourages companies to release betas as they can get even more money even earlier with no way to complain as they can't be forced to follow local rules ...
Besides ... I can already download & install UT3 at any pc of my choice. I don't need Steam for that 'feature', because it's legal over here.
Never mind that it's not that much of an issue for anyone that knows how to use backups.
