One could argue: Now more so than ever.

By tricking quickplay you can have a full server in minutes. To add to
that, use of fakeplayers is now low considered to what it was before.
Making it even more effective.

I don't think wonkagaming will be releasing anything though. This is just
his way of attempting to elicit a personal response from valve. I bet they
stopped responding to his emails.

There were better ways of bringing this particular issue to light in
public. One that did not involve threats and offending other users.
