Pacsteam worked just fine for me. I'm not waiting for a demo.

I said nothing about Vac. I said your account getting banned. As in all your games are gone. And yes it could for pirating a game (which you did, as you went around Steam). If Valve notices this, your account could be banned.

Arguable, since you paid for the game and the demo is just a free bonus.
But then I guess you could say the power adapter I got with my PSP was just a free bonus, so that doesn't make sense after all :P

It's about as risky as your PS2 suddenly bursting into flames because you're playing a game on pcsx2 (a PC PS2 emulator).

I'm waiting, though. Mostly because I can't be bothered to get it.

You mean disabled not banned, banned mean using a cheat. Disabled is a WHOLE other story.

Do anything that invalidates the STEAM ToS and don't be surprised that your entire account, games and all, get locked and you never see them again.

Couple of members on OCN got scammed when a member used stolen credit cards to send them games as gifts. Their accounts got locked, and only 2 out of the 3 got their accounts back. STEAM wouldn't let the 3rd have his account back because he didn't purchase a retail game where he could physically show a CD key.

All the people who download this should have their account banned.

Good job advertising piracy, that's pretty cool OP.
Oh totally, man. That DEMO getting leaked is total piracy. How dare people want to try the demo before the 11th.

Note: I'm being sarcastic and this is not piracy.

Once again you are wrong the early demo was meant only for people who have pre purchased the game what part of that do you not understand? Do I need to put into more simple terms so you can understand it?

Actually it IS piracy at the moment as LEGALLY you can only obtain the Demo if you have pre-purchased the game. Until it is open to public download it is actually an illegal activity.

Your STEAM account can be closed partaking in this kind of activity. Do you want to risk losing all your games ?
