This guy took a security exploit public because Steam wouldnt address the issue....

His actions has vastly different repurcussions. Yes steam is still dumb for not wanting to initially fix it...but by him going public he was making the problem worse.

Completely different case to this.

Actually no it is not.  If you signed something that says do not do this or this will be the result.  It matters now how serious the offence the company must follow through.  Its really that plain and simple.  By not following through the company risk everyone dismissing the policies and conditions for the program.  People really need to get off this entitlment type of thinking.  

Its a different case in that the actions taken by the owner/developer was different. Making a security exploit public can have a major impact. Its an act with purposeful malicious intent.

Both of them breaking the rules is the same yes. And im not saying MS was wrong to do this, but they could have dealt with it better. Companies need to be a bit flexible when it comes to situations like this.
