@Cyth I don't know why people keep bringing up "binding contract." This is not a legal situation at all. It's called not being a jackass dipshit when someone does you a favor, and when you turn around and go against their wishes, you shouldn't be surprised one bit when they don't help you out further.

This dude knew very well the spirit of what was being conveyed to him. "If it's not illegal, it's ok" is social ineptitude. This has nothing to do with legality.

I think just because in most other cases that's how this is presented. That's at least how the journalist here presented it "And I’m not under NDA. I have signed no contracts and made no verbal agreements; I haven’t even clicked through a EULA". What you're saying is why I agree with you here, that Valve was in the right to ban him.
