With the opening of rapidshare and many other file hosting webs ...
Many began to upload games and download ... and stopped buying games ...
So do you still buy games or download games from internet ?

I only buy PC games with a serial key so I can play online

If they dont have serial keys then you might aswell download and crack them

I hope that you are talking about legally buying online, and then downloading the content. If so, then yes, I bought all of my Steam games online from Valve. But MADMAX is right, if you illegaly download the games, its obviously wrong and illegal, but it also sets back the video game industry. Also you cannot play online with most that require a CD Key.

I never download games, too much of a pain because they are usually very large file. I also find that I get bored of most games I play. Besides, illegal copies of games can't connect to the internet servers, which completely sucks.

PS: BTW I'm on a mac so the only games I can play are the sims and doom 3.

I don't download games, I agree daniel it's a very large file.
I once downloaded a little bowling game and it was fun for abit, but then it said you have to pay to continue playing, so I thought thats the end of that game!

I only download games from YahooGames. They are not that too big and they are just games that are for pasttime. Anyway most the minigames(that's what I call them) from Yahoo are for very young audience and they can be finished in just minutes then I would just delete them.

I download alot, can't say it really bothers me as long as you know where to get it, and what the good release groups are, you're basically always safe, and it's just way cheaper, and you won't buy something that turns out to be utter crap after playing it for an hour.
I do however buy my games sometimes, if i think they deserve to be bought or if they've got online features i don't want to miss, just to name some of the games i bought: Warcraft 3 + Warcraft 3 TFT, Command and Conquer Decade pack, Guild wars and WoW. I also buy games I might have already downloaded, if I think the company is worthy of my support

I don't download a lot, just tried offline versions of Bounce Out and TextTwist. I was in the mall when this guy handed free CD installers of Tantra, another online RPG. They were promoting it. I never got to use it anyway. I also borrow installers from friends so I didn't have to worry about long download times.

I usually buy from the store, not online. I don't do peer-to-peer downloading, lots of dangers in it. Plus, it usually ends up getting something else instead of what I wanted.

The only things I buy from the net are mobile games. They're only a few dollars anyway
