Why do you give them such value? These are ordinary discs that were made by crooks from Russia in order to make money from naive people. Well, imagine, you are in 2004 in Russia, you want to play a new revolutionary game, you don’t have a lot of money, you either ask your parents for this money, and if you’re unlucky, you save up the money that your parents give you for school lunches, or, in the worst case, you have to somehow earn them yourself, be it in good ways, or maybe even by stealing. And so you come to the store with these green pieces of paper to the seller of video games, ask for Half-life 2, he sells it to you, you download it to your computer, and it turns out to be a F*CKING LEAKED UNFINISHED VERSION OF HL2 THAT YOU CAN'T NORMALLY PLAY. I don't understand why you are so interested in this disc, because in fact there is nothing so interesting there. Personally, I am simply ashamed of this disc, I am ashamed of those people who sold this disc to naive children, I feel sorry for those children who, because of their youth, fell into this trap. Just... damn, that's cringe.

I've heard of raining on someone else's parade before, but holy hell, if this ain't vitriolic disdain, I don't know what is. Sure, we're not gonna get anything new from it, but the fact that it is a relic from the era is reason enough to be happy about it, take a goddamn chill pill.

I would like to ask, Are there any differences to Original Unmodified Beta? or Is it basiclally the same.
