There are several reasons, I wouldn't run this plugin myself. but this is one of the main reasons:
- Imagine: faceit would run those plugins (it would be totally economic: 10-15cent a token, ca. 1,80€ a month per server)
- What would Valve do? -> maybe the would go to a lawer and try to get money from faceit for stealing
intellectual property
- Are we save, that they don't do this with private persons? Not really... (probably they won't, but you will never know)
What can we do? Maybe we could start a digital signatures petition including a solution. Would Valve listen to this? We don't know.
But in fact I can't imagine that Valve is happy with the current situtation. They are not making a relevant amount of money with the GSLT-banned-accounts. there is a company that is pulling out 1000 GSLT out of one account that costs actually less than 9€. Overestimate 50.000 servers are using these plugins. 50*9€*3 = 450 € a week. That is rubbish for Valve...
