Good idea. Here's a demonstration of what to do next time he says something stupid. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqMUuOPsa0o&feature=related]EMFCRACKSHOT said:

I presume that, should he have succeeded in doing that, you wouldn't be able to play your game anymore (otherwise aside from possible moral issues of ripping off 2K I don't see the issue). In this case, he shouldn't have gone behind your back, or presumed to take your stuff before you were done with it/had told him he could have it.
That being said, if I was you, I would give him the game after you're done with it even if I didn't get something in return. I don't consider my friendships on a quid pro quo basis; out of decency, maybe he should owe you a favour, but ultimately it's not really in the spirit of friendship to expect something as a direct consequence of giving something.

Q: Stupid brat?
A: No.
Incidentally your friend is a sneak who completely ignored your wishes. Tell him to go fuck himself in a one of the bins out the back of the STD test clinic. You need a friend like that less than a dog needs fleas.

Sharing is caring except when the other person demands that you give it to them, and then it can't quite be called sharing anymore, rather manipulation/theft. Tell him to buy his own games, the fricking bum.
Allow me to correct this analogy for you. You buying multiple games that he then downloads for himself for free without asking is not like sharing chips. Instead think of it as buying lunch every day for a week, and instead of getting his own lunch, he saves all of his money and eats part of yours without asking you. That is what he is doing now. Just a few chips is one thing, but this has happened more than once, so it's closer to him eating half of your seven-course meal.Disaster Button said:
So to answer your question, no you are not being a brat, he is being a thief. He is also trying to manipulate you into giving him what he wants, which also makes him an ass. Solution A: Never share again and be adamant about it; B: Find new friends.
well, from one point of view that's YOUR game that YOU payed money for, and he has no right to it. From another point of view, you are helping out someone who probably won't buy the game anyway. His "chips" analogy is interesting. Is he a really good friend? Becuase there is a difference between a friend and a less-rude-than-usual leech.
EDIT: I think it has been said before, but his "chips" analogy would be more accurate to the slovenly roomate who knows your safe combo, and eats half of the chips without asking, along half everything else in the fridge.

First of all, you don't pay £26 for chips and download them to your computer.
And your friend is being a bitchy school girl. Tell him to fuck off and buy his own games.

You win this round. No one should be expected to borrow from their friends. It's something they earn. You say no he should respect that
Being poor is no excuse - I'm poor, and I don't steal from my friends. We lend each other games/books/dvd's etc when we're done with them, or we play/watch them together. The thing to focus on here is that you told your friend no, and he did it anyway, regardless of any expense on your part. Tell him to buy his own fucking chips. If he wants them that badly, he'll save for them.
Nope, make the cheap bastard buy his own games. Or, better yet, make him give you something in return.
I trade games with my friends all the time, but I'm not about to give them hand-outs.
Also I'm pretty sure what you're doing isn't technically legal as far as Steam is concerned.

Don't worry, everytime i get a new game, about 3 days later it'll leave my house with a friend wanting to borrow it..
