Now that is disturbing!
I've got a Collectors edition on order through EBGames, with no devivery date, If I couldn't hold out any longer I was going to get the download version, but it looks like theres going to be issues!
Cheers!

It's primarily about having multiple people logging into the same account. With the capability to play steam games offline it is possible for multiple people to share an account by playing mostly offline, and only going online to download updates and games. If it wasn't against the EULA to share log-ins between people, you could theoretically have an unlimited number of people sharing the same account, only having to pay for a single copy of each game the mob wanted to play.
Hot-seating is less of a big deal, as I understand it. That said, if someone is using your account with your knowledge, and they do something that gets your account banned, you are still held liable for it.
