this is not about legal stuff, this is about dignity and consumer rights!
i will not humiliate myself by having to get an illegal copy of a game i
just bought!
do you understand! i pay so i have the right to use the game as i bought
it without the need to resource to any humiliating illegal process!

yes i know valve wants to make every pc gamer either a submissive servant
or an illegal scum thief pirate BUT I WILL NOT LET THEM DO IT ON ME!
NEVER! NEVER!

So you'd rather just sit there and look at the pretty box because
the game refuses to run on your system. I understand.

So you're rather just sit there and look at the box because the game
doesn't run on your system and the store won't allow you to return it.
I understand.

>you accept being screwed!

Nevermind, nothing you say would make any sense anyway.
