I feel like Day of Defeat is raping me

So I'm one of the 'foolish' ones who bought the game in stores rather
than online. Now I'm being punished for that by having to pay $20
extra just to be able to play Day of Defeat. I wouldn't mind if they
had told me this upfront, but there was no indication whatsoever that
by buying the boxed version I was raping myself. What the hell, Valve?

Hey at least it's in US dollars, there not worth much given the great
exchange rate... I got HL2 from a shop, cost £30 Im a bit pissed that
I'm not getting DoD:S but I can live with that. DoD:S cost me about £12
just over two packets of fags. but that says more about how expensive
fags are LOL and don't get me on the cost of fuel!!! 94p a liter!! so 12
quid for a game must be good

Do you mean DoD source or the original?
