Half Life 2
Bought the game togay. It has been 45 minutes already, since it started installing things. I had to register twice - on their web site and for Steam account. Now the thing says “Unlocking Half-Life 2 game files”. I’m sure it’s a good antipiracy thing. I mean - looks good on paper. But all it does is just annoys people who actually bought the game. If I had to download it from some underground web site, it would have been packaged to unpack and play. You know why? Because pirates think of people, not the money they make on the game, since they don’t make any. Another thing here is that everyone, who’s name is on the box wants to feel important. They insert their own licence agreements. They invent and reinvent customer account systems to lure you into their nets of making profit. It’s not bad to make profit, it’s just wrong to play tricky games to make you buy what you don’t want to.
Damn thing still unlocking… who needs locks that are so hard to be opened by the key that you actually consider a lock-pick?
