Doesn't Steam realize all it will take is one rich powerful guy/girl with connections, and they will get sued into bankruptcy over this... man Steam is idiotic.
Good luck finding a billionaire willing to part with $2.5bil+ (Estimated) in order to sue Valve "Into bankruptcy".
EDIT: Also "Steam" is software, not a company. Blame Valve.

Wow, what a totally &*&% move on Steam's part. I can't believe this. They have no stake in trying to keep people from cheating. Oh, no, steam achievements! Who gives a rat's ...
Absolutely ridiculous. Thank you guys for coming up with a fix. I hope it doesn't do anything to our accounts, this is the first time since using Steam a long time ago that I've felt they are doing something really, pathetically wrong.
Anybody know if this is a VAC thing, if it affects VAC status? I'm just totally gobsmacked that they'd do this across the board, what is wrong with them?
Agree with Caliber - this is pretty much just like Blizzard's old basically malware activity and is a horrible idea on their part. They shouldn't have this level of access to the user account. If the user account is elevated (as it has to be with this wrapper now) that creates an exploitable vulnerability. Just idiocy on their part, pure idiocy. Shockingly stupid. For no reason at all.
it isnt for no reason at all as alot of trainers still work in the multiplayer aspect of games and completly ruin that part of the game when others use it, Transformers FoC is a prime example as it had no VAC and cheaters where rampant making it nearly immpossible to get a TDM without a hacker/cheater in every game so unless trainer makers can make the trainers work ONLY for singleplayer to sidestep cheating by people with no morals then this will be the beginnning of the end of singleplayer cheating
