Some super deals on super games.
Did you spend too much money buying gifts for other people and now you don't have enough to feed your gaming habit over the holidays? Steam to the rescue!
Valve's Steam today launched its holiday sale with some insane prices – as long as you're not shopping for a recently released game.
Such deals include:
Mirror's Edge ($4.99), Grand Theft Auto IV ($7.49), Defense Grid ($2.49) and S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl ($1.99).
The sale runs until January 3, but some of these deals expire tomorrow, so act quickly if you're going to buy!

Of course, I could go to a torrent site, download the install, then try to find a legit cracked exe, then search for patches, and waste all kinds of time, or I could just buy games at a fair price off Steam and be done with it. My time's worth too much to be jacking with fucking torrent sites, and piracy.
It's people like you that make PC game devs blame everything on piracy and not make PC games.
No favors here. I'm pretty sure I can get these "super" games from a torrent site.
Err you do get a key. You dont get a physical disk but you definitly get a serial. At least the one game ive bought through steam i got a key for.

Good prices, but i dont like any of those games, oh well.
A few i wanted to try but thats about it, may pick up a few some when i want something almost new

Oh well, for $5 it simply isnt worth downloading over a torrent and dealing with all the BS that goes along. If you work a job over minimum wage it isnt worth the time IMHO.
Support your game developers people!
OMGosh. Chill, I was just kidding.
Suuuure, you were. /sarcasm

If you fall into the above categories I recommend not using torrents.

Good call; didn't realize you could do that. Wish I would've known that 5 days ago when I reloaded my PC but I'll just get my money's worth out of my ISP for now
BTW, someone commented that if Steam ceases to exist, all games are gone with it. also, do you actually get the serial license key when you get the Steam game ? If you do, then, why not simple buy the game through steam and download the DVD/CD image .ISO version of the game and install it with your own valid license. (Could be the ones in the torrent sites).
Correct me If I'm wrong, but I think that 's pretty valid.
