Is it immoral to wish this was on the torrent sites already so I could play it a few days early?

It's going to take more than a few days after release for this to be out on the scene.

The way the new steam protection works is that the game, randomly, contacts the steam server to get required parts of the game.

In essence, the game on your HDD is missing small, critical portions, that the game randomly requests from the steam server in an effort to combat piracy.


It's taking up to a month after commercial release for the scene to get a game out, now (purely for back purposes...What happens if steam goes bankrupt?! I don't want to lose what I bought).
