Well, FYI, borrowing a friends game is piracy. It violates the EULA because one person is effectively paying for the cost of one license for two licenses.
And if you borrow your friends original CS [or any steam based game] then both of you will lose access to online play.
I Never Purchased any Game , Except a Rs.149 CD with Full of crap demo games and a Rs.200 16 CD Flash Games Pack . only that . i think that flash games pack was worth buying . rest all from 1 of my game geek friend monu and others from MANY friends .i have 90+GB Games 70+GB Movies . sigh , yeah including crysis .
The original games i bought...if i remember then it was for my video game...
i used to buy lotta game catridges...all original/chinese originals for some 200~400/-
Coming to PC, i had never bought a single game. But got GRAW and LOst Planet which comes free with XFX cards.
But i plan to buy CS with steam soon. But availability is the current issue.
All my PS2 games are pirated. Some of them are not working now though. But thats gonna change now since the shops here have stopped selling pirated PS2 games. Now i'll be buying only originals (which have become cheaper now).
pirated rules....at one twentieth cost u get full single player satisfaction....sasta, tikau and kifayati....
among originals i bought farcry, vista home premium and few movies
