No matter what you pay for your used copy of HL2, you will criminally
violate the HL2 EULA twice once by installing and playing a used-copy
of the game and next if you have to use a crack to get the installed
copy to work.

Sso it seems that by your own admission -

W98 already comes with VGA drivers, which never needed to be updated.
Unreal functioned without problem in 640x480 in 16-colour mode at
7FPS. HL should be able to run a bit faster, since it was an earlier
game.

Actually, if you think about it, you _are_ giving your money to Valve.

If I buy HL2 for $50 play it for a bit, then sell it to you for $20; then
I've only paid a total of $30 for the time I've been playing the game. But
Valve got $50, so who provided the rest?

Statements like this show that your arguments are poorly thought-out .

Better argued/explained is that you KNOWING you would made make your money
(or % of it) back from PC Games) meant you decided to pay $50 for the
game.

So in this case, PC Games is actually ENCOURAGING MORE people to buy the
game! So more money for Valve, thanks to PC Games.

Does his hypocrisy never, ever stop?

I still can't believe PC Kipper is promoting the use of the second
hard market after all the fuss she made about other people doing it in
the past.

What a screaming hypocrite she turned out to be.
