Thanks for pin pointing the exact thing that I implied. I'll keep that in mind for next time.

As for "SRCDS is free" statement. That is just being ignorant. SRCDS is paid in indirect ways, as it increases the sales of their game, which in turns is a paid commodity. The fact that you don't directly pay for SRCDS don't mean its free.

Its not worth arguing to be honest. Regardless of our opinions on that matter. These changes have only effected the community owners who run the servers the right way, and ignite the thought of running cracked servers.

I'm glad I stuck to Left4Dead2 server only. CSGO community scene is as unstable as it gets.
