I bought half life 2 from a game store a while ago. I installed it, had fun and everything, but I ran out of space on my HDD. So I uninstall the game, and a few other things. Later, when I have more HDD space I decide I could reinstall the game and still have space left over. BUT YOU CAN ONLY INSTALL THE PIECE OF SHIT ONCE! I can't put it on any other computer, I can't put it on my computer, it's fucking bullshit I paid for he game. Now I pirate PC games, I don't care if I rape the industry.

Anti-piracy provisions don't really do all that much good. They take mere hours for dedicated hackers to break; the codes will be cracked, literally before the game actually makes it to store warehouses, much less a single copy is actually legitimately sold, and essentially serve no practical purpose but to drive up the cost of development for the law-abiding consumer.

This is why Bethesda chose not to put these codes into Elder Scrolls: Oblivion; they knew it was a futile act.

Not only is this a problem, but sometimes you need to be connected to the internet and register the game before you can play it, this has been a huge problem when my mom buys a new PC game for my little brother who doesn't have internet on his PC, so when that happens we have to resort to downloading a pirated version or to crack the game in order to make the game work so my brother can play it.

@TheDallas3

No one cares about your preferences.

Thankfully they released F.E.A.R on steam DRM free (outside of Steam itself of course).

@wolfpackflt670 dude, you could get the same virus from the torrent (if you are really unlucky!)...

[diekilleur]

@TTBurger88 Lotsa spam, and there are viruses... Just make sure you don't click on the spam, and that you scan whatever you download before opening. I'd avoid this kind of site, but it sometimes has stuff you can't easily find (like a crack for a UK retail thing patched to version whatever), so just take whatever you need and get the hell out.
