Seriously, they added a check in their installer and if your SN was considered invalid it ran a chrome password dumper and sent the contents back to themselves. When caught they called the malware their DRM rofl.

Valve should ban the developer from Steam, assuming they sell their addons on steam. Even if this didn't occur on the steam version of the game.

If they do that once, they will try something similar in the future.
They need to be boycotted & sued into bankruptcy.
