Just wondered what other people thought of thiis?
Just has recently been made clear that downloading a game's client (from a P2P site or newsgroup) and buying a key from an online store is legit, and cheaper, than buying the game from a retail store or sometimes from Steam. Two of the sites I know of are in Russia - obviously in Western prices they're 50% or cheaper than US/UK RRPs.
Upon buying a key (often within minutes) the user is emailed with a photo of the game's retail box and included key. After installing the game's client, the key is entered to the appropiate place - and job done, it's legally your copy.
I tried this with a copy of Deadspace 2 - I bought a key for £16.79, and no problems with it at all.
Ok, so morally it's dubious to the least, but I'm not breaking any laws here?
