The latter option does leave you with the game in your Steam account though, which is infinitely more convenient than downloading a repack made by some Russian somewhere in 15 parts from 5 different filesharing websites

...I mean, I assume. It's not like I've ever bought a game... or several games... from resellers side-eye-2

Why not torrent it?

I don't have a VPN, which is apparently a requirement to torrenting games, movies and TV shows in this day and age.

I do still torrent things, but I try to stick to older/obscure stuff. Guess I'm averse to getting disapproving letters from the copyright police

That sucks :/

One of the upsides of not living in the G7 countries is easier piracy, I guess.
