Quote from Shugashack:

We received an email from Valve, announcing that WON authentication servers will be shut down soon. After this operation is done (should be by July 31), you can no longer use of the online features of non-Steam Valve products, such as Counter-Strike 1.5. People who haven't already done so are encouraged to download Steam so they can continue to play.

This sucks.........big time. I hate Steam and now anyone who wants to play anything Half-Life online will have to use it.

:evil:

Yeah, time to start looking for non-authentication servers to put up privately, eh?

Give it some time and they will be up and Valve will be frantically trying to kill them.

This is so stupid, like 50% of the people playing counter-strike are still using 1.5

On a similar note, Electronic Arts ( EA ) Games is shutting down a bunch of their servers:

Since they don't allow dedicated servers for these games, this sucks balls.
