I remember the uproar when CS 1.6 required steam. It was huge and everyone was angry. It took a lot of pull that CS didn’t die because of steam, a lot of players stayed on 1.5 for a long time. But HL2 was too big of an argument to stay off steam.

Thanks, that sounds good. Can you explain more how you used the plugin for the wildcard certificate?

How did you set up you SSL certificates, are you using a self signed certificate or do you use a custom subdomain?
