Well, even though he doesn't consider it stealing it still is. He broke into your files without your permission, then began to take your property for himself. So what if it's just copying? The FBI wouldn't be to happy if someone went into their databases and started copying stuff. If the dude has so little respect for you and your wishes, you may just want to end your friendship with him, because no one would do that to a true friend.Disaster Button said:
Curiosity killed the cat, they say. I've worked on Dragon Age, hence my prior comment, as well as Jade Empire, Mass Effect, and Star Wars: The Old Republic. Spend enough years busting your ass to get a game out the door and you develop a zero-tolerance mentality for pirating.tmujir955 said:
He's being unreasonable. I'd say stop being friends with him but I know that's not going to happen, so just don't let him even look at your Steam account.
you did the right thing in not letting him download it, if you did, your pirating the game, and that just fucks us all over in the end, sence the people that made it lose money and if they lose too much money, they shut down, and then we all lose.Disaster Button said:
Whatever the question is, the answer is probably yes. Now to read the question.
OK, first off you're a prat for letting him have your password. It's against the terms of the EULA which you agreed to (and is LEGALLY BINDING), so you're technically breaking the law by letting him use it without being present.
By "letting him use it", I'm guessing you mean downloading and playing it, because you can't get 2 copies that you can use simultaneously.
It's not like giving him some of your chips at all. It's like letting him drive the car that you're insured to drive. Whilst yes, it's not technically going to cost you anything to let him drive it (assume for the purpose of argument that he pays for the exact amount of fuel he uses), 1) If he gets caught using it he'll risk having the car impounded (your steam account banned) and 2) It's not his bloody car.
I'm sure if he can't afford to buy, what about finding a copy torrent?
But no. You're not a spoiled brat.

They are YOUR new toys.Disaster Button said:
Sounds like that "friend" of yours only cares about abusing your steam, dump him!
Bad idea. If he downloads from your account, because its steam, logs it to his computer, so neither of you can play at the same time. A good compromise is to just tell him to wait till you finish.
