Highlandish has threaten to go to the police. Why?
Cause i've been complaining against what he wrote
And what has he wrote?
This is what he wrote:

1. Highlandish wrote about he himself illegally downloaded a copy of
STALKER, and btw there is no STALKER DEMO, so the "DEMO" expression is
just a "disguised" way for PIRATED, so it should read "I thought I'd
PIRATED the game"
"I thought I'd DEMO the game after all and check it out, being my
first"

2. Highlandish wrote about getting his illegal copy of STALKER running
in his system, proff he is actually using the illegal copy he
downloaded and after that he has continuously wrote more about the
game meaning he is playing heavily
"i got it fixed, i just needed to get the latest nvidia drivers, all
is smooth and plain sailing now."

3. Highlandish wrote defending that for him, he has the discretionary
right to pay for games only when he feel like it, after download a
illegal copy of a game and playing he then feels he can decide if in
his "judgment" he should pay or not, decide if the game deserves or
not his money, which for me its the supreme arrogancy, its like going
to a Mcdonals eating a full meal and then having the power to decide
if you should pay or not, would Mcdonals still be in business with
this system?
"I am more inclined to DEMO the full torrented version of the game now
and only pay for the retail box if the game is worth putting on my
shelf and if the online content is enticing."

4. Highlandish wrote about doing exactly the opposite with STEAM
games, why? cause with STEAM he has to behave well cause he knows
Master Valve is watching, and he can't DEMO anything, including real
DEMOs cause their aint even DEMOs for STEAM games, you PAY and then
you PLAY, if you don't like it your problem. What does it shows about
him? Only by using BRUTE FORCE does he follow rules, are we all like
this? I'm not!
"yeah, that's stopped me, i need to keep my steam clean! i have too
many games in there to loose them over a pirate bust."

5. Highlandish wrote after he himself taking advantage of the way
STALKER was released including downloading a illegal copy of STALKER,
playing it and not paying for it unless he feels like it, that he
still continues to defends systems like STEAM to stop what he himself
actually just did, yes he is defending something to stop what he
actual does continuously and funny he talks about "pirate" in the
third person when he is in fact one of them
"the only way to defeat pirates is to make online play imperative to
the playing of the game, and with that, authenticate the online games.
make it so ppl will want to pay for it. if you're gunna make a stand-
alone SP game then it will be readily hacked and pirated."

So with all this evident please judge... please be the judge
Highlandish is not only doing the piracy Valve needs to excuse STEAM
but he also supports it by defending its system
Now don't I have the right to complain against this?
I don't want a STEAM monopoly in PC Games
STEAM damages me, and cause PIRACY, the one those by Highlandish
himself causes STEAM I complain about piracy, the piracy Highlandish
does
So don't I have the right to complain against Highlandish?
Is this a matter for the police like Highlandish just threatened?
Everything I wrote was direct quotes from what Highlandish wrote in
this group!
Don't I have the right to quote anything anyone writes in this group?
So if its for the police its to stop a pirate like Highlandish not to
stop someone like myself from COMPLAINING which is my right!
You be the judge
