Haha. Got you to come! Or atleast mods. DONT LEAVE THOUGH! It really is a problem.

I have noticed so many games of Valves that have been turned into Standalone games. And they even have servers on this thing called Genera I believe. Like the game Brink. It just came out not that long ago and you can already get a HIGHLY ILLEGAL PIRATED VERSION of it.

Me personally, I think its sad. Most of Valves good games are cheap in price. And your able to make maps and stuff, so why not pay the fee to get the Weeee? Fun comes at a price usually.

What are your thoughts on this?

(Sorry for CAPS LOCKS, it was to discourage people from downloading.)

Piracy is bad. Don't do it. We will ban you.

Why are we still talking about this?

I don't like piracy period. Some of my artwork had been stolen before, which make me dislike any form of piracy, even if it is digital.

Some people download the pirated version, and if they like it, they buy it. I guess some people's logic is that they aren't going to pay for a $60 game if they only play it for a couple of hours.

I bought Dragon Age Origins and hated it. That was damn expensive too.
When I want a game I usually ask a friend if I could play it to try it, and it if looks alright I would buy it.

I dont play many games unless I see them on G4 channel. My usual games are steam games, black ops, and Halo Reach.

Why doesn't Valve do what the creator of Garry's Mod did: Create an error to prevent the game from running if it is pirated. I remember reading about that and all of the pirater's we're pissed off.

Because piracy is a cat and mouse game. If the target is of sufficiently high value, they will find a way around any anti-piracy measure. I would be really surprised if the pirates didn't work through the Gary's Mod anti-piracy.

I have NEVER once used or seen Garys Mod. I was reading about it though and it seemed interesting. Is it worth the buy?

Garry's Mod is fun. There is no REAL goal in the game. But you can make some interesting stuff. I made the picture under my alias with the Metro-Cop and the G-man using Garry's Mod.

Multiplayer is available in Garry's Mod. I think there is more info on the garrysmod.com site. Not .org though, that's just add ons people make.
