In my opinion, if you don't have the money, don't buy or pirate it at all. When it comes to valve, it's either pay, or don't. Valve makes good games, It's not worth it pirating them. You'll get the wrong idea of their multiplayer servers
Don't be hypocrite on me man, haven't you never pirated in your life? Never get a .mp3 music via bluetooth from other cell? It's same if you love the music, go buy the original disk, if you love the movie, go buy the original, man you say as you never did it, and if you never did such thing, then you really dunno why we do it. Not everyone can have money al day to spend on it. These are people to do it, so I stay with the cheap. I'm not much into online game play, so no problem to me
I have obviously pirated, but never Valve games. I know better then to pirate games from Valve. They deserve my money. If you don't have money, don't buy it. Simple.
Still, hipocrite man, then if you don't have money, and there's the game of the year, and you wanna it bad...you ain't gonna pirate it? C'mon, that's not the what we all do. Valve games or not, is just a game industry, just as Konami's, Capcom's, Eletronic Art's, Rockstar Games', THQ's, well, they're all good enterprises, you say it just cuz it's valve's, sounds like a valve's fanboy. So I is like that: I've pirated yesterday, I do pirate today, and I'll pirate tomorrow.
removed because I know some idiots won't understand even if I wrote it a million times in a million languages.
You're talking to someone so blinded by piracy that he will never consider paying someone to give something good and worth while. As I said before, there is no justifiable reason for piracy, it's a moral wrong no matter which way you twist it.
