Valve Takes the Offensive on Warez Users?

[Supreme Cmdr]

....and then we have this bit about Valve releasing a Warez version of HL2 in order to catch pirates.

[XOR]

ninja > pirate

hehe thats kinda funny actually its like a modern trojan horse it should format their hard drive too heheh and then cause the hardware to short out and then cause the monitor to expload hopefully causeing physical harm to the user...

and for those with a webcam, it takes a picture of their facial expression just before the HD is wiped... for posterity of course... and a few "watercooler" jokes

When I read about that on PlanetHL first I grinned, then let out a little heckle and finally burst out in a fit of laughter. As the saying goes 'GG Valve'

HL2 was worth my hard earned pennies, if only for the little 'accident' toward the end of the game that tips the odds in your favour somewhat >)
