+		IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
+		(Steam API key not found)
+
+		A Steam API key is now mandatory to run the app.
+		The BM API returns incorrect mod data on some servers
+		and cannot be relied upon for up to date information.
+
+		Going forward, we will only use the BM API as a convenience
+		function to manage server names and your favorite servers list,
+		and migrate to indexing servers on an IP basis.
+
+		This is a backend change. You can continue adding servers by ID,
+		but we will retrieve information from Valve instead, as we do for the
+		server browser and connect-by-ip methods.
+
+		Click [OK] to open the help page describing how to set up your key.
+		After you input a valid key, the app will resume.
+		HERE
