AS GAMERS all over the world wait eagerly for Half-Life 2 to hit both physical and electronic shelves, I've been quietly gathering info and evaluating Valve's plans to stop HL2 going the way of so many other new releases recently - sunk to the bottom of the sea by pirates. ....

I hope Valve does frustrate the pirates

I hope so too.
But as Descartes law if man is imperfect he will create imperfect things.
Final product will not be perfect.
But im sure that its a step in the right direction.
Next will be perment internet connection to play single player game.

Valve rule.

 

[Ownzed]

Yeah, I really hope so too.

the thing is, theres a point, games companies make enough money from official sales, so yeh the pirating is insignifcant, i dont care about it really, because ive already bought my copy,, but these days if a game really impresses, most people will buy the genuine copy off a shelf anyway.

You do know he doesn't have the dll's and other files, correct? Therefore the game won't run, and yet again, the douche emporio wastes his time.

Agreed, people are playing a cracked CSS nowadays...

They only started playing the cracked version when VALVe unlocked the game, I'd like you people to notice, they have yet to crack HL2, and play it.

DiSTuRbEd read the quote man, His is agreeing that after it is unlocked it will be cracked, not before.
