If you're thinking about downloading HL2 through illegal means, then expect a fight from Valve. The following is a quote by Gabe Newell himself when asked about pirated versions of Half-Life 2:


" We're running a bit of an experiment. We're keeping track of the accounts that do this and will be shutting them off. "

So as you can see, Valve Software have released a test "warez" version aimed at catching people out. These people will have their accounts deleted and will be banned from Steam. Therefore, I strongly suggest that you do not participate in these illegal activities as it would only lead to your own harm.

Instead of wasting $40 million on sports cars, mansions and sexy stripper wives that Valve made with the original Half-Life, they decided to spend it all on the creation of Half-Life 2. Show them you appreciate their work and buy the game.

Hell i bought the collector's edition and it wouldn't work on my PC because of some conflict with my plextor dvdrw. Then a week later the official fix from steam for the dvd issue is....switch to a dvd-rom or another brand dvdrw if a firmware upgrade doesn't do the trick. I did the firmwares , and tried a pioneer dvdrw the same day I bought it, nothing. I switched to a pioneer dvd rom and it worked fine. I'm pretty miffed, and I really didn't even enjoy the game that much. I think that Farcry is a hell of a lot better. anyhow, sour taste in my mouth with steam/valve/id. I'm tempted to start this torrent up, setup a proxy, spoof my mac addy or get a seperate nic, and see if this is true.

you're really pissed today

Meh... I've been browsing the forums for a week, reading all the threads from the complete BONEHEADS who post in OT without any way to shove it in their faces that they're fvcktarded. I'm surprised the pent-up explosion didn't crack the foundation of my house, but AT doesn't have a tool to make the word bold, highlighted, AND set their computers on fire, so I gotta make do with what I have I guess.

Its called release. Just find a woman and maybe you will figure it out. Worst case scenerio it that you can do it alone with some pr0n, but eventually that will just make it worse.

Even if they did release a trap version, couldn't people rip their legit copies and put them on Suprnova?
