After installing, i had a problem, only one of the expansions launched, after alot of searching on the internet, it turned out alot of people had the same problem, and steam and THQ were throwing the blame at each other and no one was fixing it.
So i torrented the whole lot of them. Weeks later, i get an email from some company, (cant remember the name now) i dont know how legit it was, but it seemed like a warning of sorts, they specified the date and time i had downloaded the files and warned me that legal action could be taken against me if i persisted. I just found it rather funny considering i had bought the games TWICE before.
Would my defence stand in court if it had ever come to that?
