Ban hits Half-Life 2 pirates hard
About 20,000 people have been banned from playing the Half-Life 2 game.
Game maker Valve shut down the online accounts of the players because it had evidence that their copy of the game had been obtained illegally.
Copies of Half-Life 2 had been circulating on file-sharing systems soon after it was officially released.
Experts said the success of the Half-Life 2 anti-piracy system might tempt other game makers into creating their own version.
