Valve has assured that the password loophole has been closed.
Valve has begun resetting numerous Steam passwords after some users found they could easily hijack another person's account.
It appears that the security flaw was discovered at some stage in July, and became more prominently known as users passed around the knowledge.

Normally the user would need to copy the random code sent via email and paste it into the Steam client. However, if players type in no code at all and click continue, they will still be allowed to proceed. Then they can create a new password for their account.

"Please note that while an account password was potentially modified during this period the password itself was not revealed. Also, if Steam Guard was enabled, the account was protected from unauthorized logins even if the password was modified."

"Whether you want to call it a shank, a duff, or a whiff, all that really matters is that Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a poor effort from a series that was looking to make a splash in its generational debut."
was particularly positive about the Wii U title. It concluded: "Splatoon is the antithesis to the modern shooter, but it primarily deserves recognition for what it is, not what it isn't. It's a wonderful game with charm and inventive ideas that work and pave the way for new experiences in an otherwise stale category of games."
