MWEB holds gamers "hostage"

The First COD:BO CD I tried to use said that "this key is already registered to another steam account" you can imagine how pissed off I was. I went back to musica and asked for a replacement. The one cashier didn't understand why but another one understood about keys and I got a replacement case with a key that was fresh.

Now somebody had already used that first key I tried without paying for the game.

Not at all.. running Steam Guard on my account. Nobody can login to my account from another computer :)

Edit: I was simply making a point that Steam Guard should solve account hijackings... however I wouldn't hand over my details anyways.

Steam Guard was made for that very reason. No matter how much you tell people not to give out their login details they still do.

I feel no sympathy for someone who is, um, naive enough to buy anything from from Russia, let alone a CD key for a game. The key might be a real COD key, but that doesn't mean it is legal. Where do you think they got those keys? Do you really believe that they were obtained legally from a recognised vendor? Really, honestly believe that?

I realise this is off topic, but seeing as how we have established that you are wrong in your accusations regarding the peering issue, I now feel the need to go on about your buying habits. You are probably the kind of guy who buys a TV or cell phone second hand, despite the previous owners' blood still being visible on it. And don't tell me it is any different, because I'd wager those keys are just as stolen. But hey, you keep living in your little naive, secluded little world where the Easter Bunny exists and Father Christmas lives in the North Pole with his Elves. Maybe one day your mommy and daddy will find the time to explain these things to you.

firstly
this is a public forum not a spelling contest, baught bought you knew exactly what i was saying.
secondly
Seeing as you want to attack me on a person level.I don't suppose you want me to get into your illegal activities distributing copywrite HD Tv shows (would you like me to get specific) Mr torrent surfer living in boneschans street. And you want to attack my ethics for buying a game from another country.You should ask the your wife to give you less hassels at home so that you do not make your name ass in public.
ever heard of the saying "don't throw stones if you live in a glass house"
thirdly
You obviously have a lot more experience with buy stolen goods than i do.
fourthly
A product key has f-all to do with connection speeds/peering/routing and so forth.
fithly
I have raised your concerns with steam about the legality of the cdkey and will post their reply when I get it.

Hey guys talking about steam guard. Does a person have to download it as a download on its own, or does it fall under the steam update??

Part of steam client - so use steam update. You must also opt in to be part of the Beta.

Gee atomixx, you are really going about making friends the wrong way ;)
