Hello Steam or Valve or whoever, I just wanted to say thank you. \u00a0I used to be a software pirate. \u00a0No, I didn’t actually crack and upload games, no I was too lazy for that. \u00a0I just downloaded already cracked games instead of buying them. \u00a0I did that for years I’m afraid. \u00a0Even games that you created like Half-Life and Portal I’m sad to say. \u00a0If it makes you feel any better, I own both of those games now. \u00a0Actually, I own the entire Half-Life collection, plus Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 and Portal 1 & 2.<\/p>\n
It’s all thanks to Steam!<\/p>\n
Honestly, though, I don’t just buy from you guys. \u00a0I sometimes buy from Gamefly and Amazon, but those games are often on Steam anyway, so we’re all good. \u00a0I really just buy from whoever is cheapest. \u00a0Come on, I may no longer download pirated software, but I’m still a cheapskate. \u00a0Hey, I’m just being honest. \u00a0If I couldn’t get my games from you guys at 75% off, I would probably still be downloading pirated games. \u00a0I think we can both agree that at least this way, somebody gets paid. \u00a0Amiright?<\/p>\n
Anyway, thanks again. \u00a0You keep selling stuff crazy cheap and I’ll keep buying it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Signed,<\/p>\n
