Hello Steam or Valve or whoever, I just wanted to say thank you. I used to be a software pirate. No, I didn’t actually crack and upload games, no I was too lazy for that. I just downloaded already cracked games instead of buying them. I did that for years I’m afraid. Even games that you created like Half-Life and Portal I’m sad to say. If it makes you feel any better, I own both of those games now. Actually, I own the entire Half-Life collection, plus Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 and Portal 1 & 2.
It’s all thanks to Steam!
Honestly, though, I don’t just buy from you guys. I sometimes buy from Gamefly and Amazon, but those games are often on Steam anyway, so we’re all good. I really just buy from whoever is cheapest. Come on, I may no longer download pirated software, but I’m still a cheapskate. Hey, I’m just being honest. If I couldn’t get my games from you guys at 75% off, I would probably still be downloading pirated games. I think we can both agree that at least this way, somebody gets paid. Amiright?
Anyway, thanks again. You keep selling stuff crazy cheap and I’ll keep buying it.
