Journal: Are Valve losing the piracy war ?

I want to tell you all about how incompetent Valve really are. I purchased Half Life 2 game of the year edition from Amazon. And i received it one week ago. When i installed it asked me to put the CD key in and then Steam told me it was already registered to another account??

Now this is a new game brought brand new from Amazon i have e mailed Valve and as yet have got no response have any of you have this problem and if is how did you solve short of no CD/Steam hack on the game which i own legally??

Are Valve really supplying games with CD keys that have already been hacked and used ?

and should i just give up and stop buying games
