Valve has just banned another mass of bootleg games on Steam, many of which were shovelware titles with stolen assets or little to no content.

As spotted by Blue's News, Steam surged past 40 million concurrent users for the very first time today. Steam broke the 39 million concurrents barrier back in December.

The Steam executable for Rockstar's Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne bears a striking resemblance to a no-CD hack released by now defunct piracy group Myth. Could it just be a coincidence?
