I've tried to get my CD Key replaced, but was told I had to send in the original CD, manual & sales receipt. They would then (at my expense, both ways) send me a new copy of the game. Nothing else.
WAY cheaper to just go buy a new copy (especially since I was running off the original HL, and fat chance as to having the original receipt for THAT.)
So, uh....unless they're not being evil when you contact them, I'd say spend the 20 bucks, and hope you can find your CD Key... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Piracy is bad. Very bad. 'Nuff said in that department.
Having said that, I've bought HL twice now and both times some wanker had taken the CD key from the box at the store before i bought it. 2nd time they wouldnt take the game back, claiming I was doing it to get free CD keys, so I went on the net underground and got a list of 5000 cdkeys, about 80 percent of which work in the valve system, and of those maybe 5 percent are not in use at any given time.
When the system doesn't work, you work around the system. And don't even ask for the list, I'm never EVER giving this list out to anyone for any reason. Buy HL like I did, and if you get screwed like I did, then find other means, but I can't help you.
Isn't it amazing tho, how NS is so much better than 90 percent of all retail games made this year, and it was created on a budget of basically nothing. Gotta love HL mods!
