User blog comment:Dzylon/Why pirate Terraria?/@comment-11266379-20131002145319

I pirated it long time ago - it was 1.1.2 then. I played almost 3 weeks pirated.... and I really enjoyed the game. I marked this game as next to buy, as well as Crysis 2 which I also had pirated at the time. On next salary, I went to the retail game shop, bought Crysis 2, and as a bonus, I bought Terraria - it was a steam sale. I kept the cracked 1.1.2 and the legitimate 1.1.2 in my computer, because playing legitimate version required Steam to be running. When 1.2 update went away, I deleted the now unneeded cracked 1.1.2, ripped off 1.2.0.1 from SteamApps, applied a Steam DLL crack and cloned that to my Linux partition. Under Linux, WINE liked the game and I were able to play too. So basically, piracy often gives you advantages as well. And I am happy that I spend these $3 for the steam sale, IF these ever release collector's edition, I will re-spend them and buy it. I  definetly want to have Terraria Game Disc in my library.
