We paid for Counter Strike! And we refuse to have the game change into something we did not pay for. This is an invasion. Our games and our servers are paid for and not owned by valve. It is wrong for them to step into our paid for products and introduce ads. We want the ads removed unless they want to reinburse us our purchase price of our servers and games since the advertisements will be paying for them. Running ads on our servers that WE pay for is taking money out of OUR pockets. The owners of the servers should get the advertising dollars. FREE COUNTER STRIKE FROM ADVERTISING OR WE WILL ALL LEAVE!!!!!
I am gathering documentation on server hosting costs to present to the legal team reviewing the End User License Agreement. We need to demonstrate exactly how these advertisements impact the revenue stream of privately owned servers.

The current level of support provides the leverage needed to begin drafting formal correspondence to Valve legal counsel regarding server ownership rights. I have scheduled a consultation with a technology attorney to review our specific claims about advertising revenue and purchase agreements.
