Meh, I'm kinda on both sides in this subject. On one hand, stealing is wrong. Of course the companies need money. On the other hand, Sometimes the games just won't work. Seriously, just hear me out before you go all "RAWR you just hate the large companies".
This case- the Fallout 3 DLC. I don't know about US, UK or other countries, but here in Sweden, the only way to get them is to download them from Games For Windows. One problem though- It won't work. The base program works fine, but in order to get the list of games and all that other stuff, I need to install an update. Fair enough, but oops, apparently, "this support page is not available in Swedish". Whatever. So I download the goddamn update, which takes like 20 minutes, try to install it, and what do I get? "The language in the update isn't the same as Games for Windows uses. Please try another update."
>:(
So I look all over the goddamn website, trying to find that update in swedish, but couldn't find it.
So I said fuck it, downloaded it from Mininova and it worked perfectly.
Yeah.
