The thing for me is that when I want a game, I go on steam, pop my CC in there and presto. No lines, no driving to gamestop, finding out it's not there...bla bla bla bla...

Plus steamfriends is great for me to talk to my buddies, since we're always on lol.
Just like to point out that you don't incure a CC charge if you use Paypal!

I think this was a bad thing to say for two reasons.

1. They are going to viciously attack you for suggesting that Steam isn't Jesus Christ.
2. You ruined their "high"

How did I know this thread was going to be about pirating at some point in time?

It's already uninstalled.

I just don't like how I can't sell the Orange Box. I bought it retail...So, I'll never buy another Valve game again. I don't feel I should be forced to keep them, particularly when I bought it from a store.

just my .02 is all.
