My Library Gave Me a Free Steam Game

Closed

I was at my local library to borrow a few videos and albums. When I went to check out, I saw that they now have video games. Checking their selection, among the PS3, 360, and Wii games, one PC game, BIOSHOCK INFINITE, stuck out. With the curiosity getting to me, I had to borrow the game. When I entered the serial number, Steam registered the game to our family's account. A $60 game for the cost of the a library card (A.K.A. nothing). My family will be watching the library system a lot more closely for now on.

It's going to be funny when you end up having to pay $60 full price for a game that you can purchase online for cheaper as a result of your attempts at being clever. Oops?

That is just plain theft, that game can not be used unless it is activated on Steam, but they were probably not to know that. You have knowingly taken advantage of uninformed people, actually scammed them, and that's just wrong...

Poor library ._.

But as others have mentioned, kinda dirty to "steal" the game not only from the library but from the rest of the community (even though there's no real way for the community to share it unless people borrowed a steam account). Either way, the library knows you used the code. They do keep records (OMG REALLY?!?) of what they lend. Hope you have a conscious :3

Cheers
