[bf1942] Modding v Hacking

[Rick Thompson]

And they were going to share that with the public (including their admin 
userbase) when?

I thought I had seen the height of arrogance from Valve awhile back but 
this takes the cake. We won't support BF2 and I'm cancelling our 42 clients 
as well. I just can't stomach the thought of promoting (or buying) their 
games and would rather see excess bandwidth go to waste than into their pocket.

So ea... you got your way. Another old time host since Quake 1 providing a 
handful of screaming low cost servers is gone.

Good luck with these assholes people, I'm outa here.
