SEV on Steam?

[Combat Wombat]

1. Valve isn't going bust, and like stated before valve has servers all over the world so unless the aliens attack and destroy all forms of centralized internet control your fine.

2. You'd be a fool to sell any of the games in steam becaue they are all so good, but I do agree with you the inability to transfer games to other steam accounts is something I am not to fond of.

3. Valve won't start charging, mostly because that would alienate 90% of their user base which are counter strike players who are to cheap to buy any games so they play CS all day(and sometimes buys new valve products). Also I believe there would be some legal issues there since there was no indication that when you purchased the game you would ever have to pay past that point. Unlike other pay to play games where it is clearly stated that there is a monthly fee.

Extra: idk where anyone got the idea that you need a fast processer for steam but I used it quite regularly on a 733mhz PIII and a 900mhz AMD Athlon with no problems at all and I am sure you can run it with even less. The minimum requirements on the steam site aren't exactly massive.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Windows 98, ME, 2000 or XP
64 MB RAM
400 Mhz processor
1GB HD space (recommended)
Internet connection (broadband connection recommended)

in fact some of those requirements are less than those required by se4...
