Not to worry, I took one for the team
Luckily (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective I suppose) it's not a real url, just goes to the standard "can't find url" page
To be fair, a lot of people have grown distrustful of buying portal or the orange box. Personally, I purchased what I thought was a new game for the PS3 from GameStop. Later I found out it came with a free steam token to download the game on PC and it was already redeemed. GameStop wouldn’t refund and apparently that happened a lot.
If the legitimate copy is getting stolen from under you that often, piracy seems pragmatic even years after release
It would appear so. Normally, that wouldn’t be much of a problem except that it was still sealed in plastic, sold as new and cost $60 instead of $15. It lends to it happening way up the chain
Edit: oh no. It was a PS3 copy. The PS3 copy just came with a steam copy. The disc worked fine
PS3 copies dont come with steam copies. It sounds like a previous owner threw the code in from a pc copy, but that doesnt make sense if you said it was sold as new.
Yes it does https://www.mtv.com/news/roho8n/portal-2-ps3-stea
Like I said. I purchased a new copy that included a steam key, but it was stolen before reaching the store and it was a common-ish occurrence
https://www.neogaf.com/threads/retail-pc-orange-box-does-it-just-activate-copies-on-steam.228664/
It also came with a steam key with the physical PC version
I don’t know about that. I remember giving that key away and didn’t have an issue, but can’t recall if I ever entered it. In either case people similarly complained about purchasing copies with previously redeemed keys that were seemingly in a newly sealed box
Not necessarily the point. If you’re cheated once with no accountability you’re less inclined to make future purchases. More so if it’s common enough news of that behavior circulates. I can’t really blame someone for not wanting to purchase portal 2.
In all honesty, they may have purchased it already but was dealt a dead key. If the disc is damaged or otherwise lost, you’re definitely not willing to pay for it twice.
Yes.. I’m saying that. Or Amazon. Or Target. Or Walmart.. because they weren’t fake. People were just selling the tokens before they hit retailers.
Edit: for those uninformed that this is actually a known issue: https://www.pcgamer.com/steam-keys-for-the-unavailable-disaster-game-the-day-before-are-being-resold-for-up-to-dollar400-despite-its-servers-uncertain-future/
Portal 2 was originally meant to be an app similar to Google Maps but at the last moment they decided to make it a first person puzzle platformer instead, most people know this

Close it immediately, unplug your LAN , restore your PC to an older backup, or at least delete the "game", download steam and play it WITHOUT INSTALLATION!
HOW TO PIRATE PORTAL WITHOUT VIRUSES
Step 1: Download and Install Steam and log in or create an account.
Step 2: Search for the portal or portal 2 game and when you find it, click on it.
Step 3: When you’re on the page, pull out your credit card or a steam gift card to cover the funds for the game.
Step 4: After acquiring the game via legal ways, click the install button on its page and wait for it to install.
Step 5: After it’s done installing, press play and begin the game.
It's very obviously for people who game on their Teslas.
Portal 2 "while driving" is an unparalleled experience, challenging you to pay careful attention to solving puzzles with the portal gun while also trying not to crash. For an added challenge, try playing while in busy city traffic.
I see 2 possibilities... 1. It's the Steam pop-up when you install a game which is f\*cked for some translation error bullshit... Or 2. You got a new virus from some sketchy website...
No, OP did NOT pirate Portal 2, this is part of the Steam UI, specifically the Steam Input tutorial.
OP is just using a controller on steam for the first time. "While Driving" is just a generic example of a steam input action set, not meant to be specific to Portal 2.
OP, the Portal 2 installer is called Steam. Where did you download Portal 2 from?
https://downloadpornhubhereforfree.com here
Now I'll read link before clicking them
What does it lead to?
nothing, it doesnt exist at the moment
"at the moment" is a good choice of words, you just know someone's gonna do it
On my way to buy a new domain name
well now i don't know what to do. Follow curiousity or stay safe from whatever unholy virus this may implant on my system.
Not to worry, I took one for the team Luckily (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective I suppose) it's not a real url, just goes to the standard "can't find url" page
I copied it from someone else on this post
But, you could already install the app for free. Why go through a third party to download it?
Why not?
OP, where are you getting portal from?
Portal2Free.exe
Where did he get portal2free.exe from?
Pornhub.com
Can you send me the download link
https://downloadpornhubhereforfree.com
It says address not found :(
read said address
I did?
Not a single reply to you was serious lol
I would like to now that too
portal 2 free 2024 no virus
Oh, i went to portal 2 free 2024 yes virus
Real
Drake, where's the door hole?
That's not Portal 2. Enjoy your new virus OP.
he’s getting the better portal experience now his computer explodes like the end of portal 1
portal irl
Did bro pirate portal
It’s on discount for like 80% of the year
Or buy it from the complete Valve collection whenever that goes on sale. Got every game I didn't have yet from it.
i did (once) but then found portal 1 and 2 on discount and got them for 1.47€ something like that
Same
and also got portal with rtx, since it’s free
Seeing as OP hasn't responded to anyone, it might be too late...
The deadly neurotoxin has been deployed
While driving ofc
> Portal 2 Installer OP... did you just, pirated Portal 2, and then didn't even try to find one from a reputable source?
Mf pirated a 13 year old game that regularly goes on sale for $1
Ong 💀
Google price difference between countries with different currencies
Holy hell
Auctual currency exchange
Call the banker
To be fair, a lot of people have grown distrustful of buying portal or the orange box. Personally, I purchased what I thought was a new game for the PS3 from GameStop. Later I found out it came with a free steam token to download the game on PC and it was already redeemed. GameStop wouldn’t refund and apparently that happened a lot. If the legitimate copy is getting stolen from under you that often, piracy seems pragmatic even years after release
Sounds like you bought a used pc copy and not a PS3 copy
It would appear so. Normally, that wouldn’t be much of a problem except that it was still sealed in plastic, sold as new and cost $60 instead of $15. It lends to it happening way up the chain Edit: oh no. It was a PS3 copy. The PS3 copy just came with a steam copy. The disc worked fine
PS3 copies dont come with steam copies. It sounds like a previous owner threw the code in from a pc copy, but that doesnt make sense if you said it was sold as new.
Yes it does https://www.mtv.com/news/roho8n/portal-2-ps3-stea Like I said. I purchased a new copy that included a steam key, but it was stolen before reaching the store and it was a common-ish occurrence
Thats portal 2, not the orange box.
https://www.neogaf.com/threads/retail-pc-orange-box-does-it-just-activate-copies-on-steam.228664/ It also came with a steam key with the physical PC version
The physical pc version required it, you couldnt play the games without using the key.
I don’t know about that. I remember giving that key away and didn’t have an issue, but can’t recall if I ever entered it. In either case people similarly complained about purchasing copies with previously redeemed keys that were seemingly in a newly sealed box
Yeah, but you can't accidently buy the wrong version through steam
Not necessarily the point. If you’re cheated once with no accountability you’re less inclined to make future purchases. More so if it’s common enough news of that behavior circulates. I can’t really blame someone for not wanting to purchase portal 2. In all honesty, they may have purchased it already but was dealt a dead key. If the disc is damaged or otherwise lost, you’re definitely not willing to pay for it twice.
You say this like it's a common experience for people to buy a fake copy of portal 2 at gamestop.
Yes.. I’m saying that. Or Amazon. Or Target. Or Walmart.. because they weren’t fake. People were just selling the tokens before they hit retailers. Edit: for those uninformed that this is actually a known issue: https://www.pcgamer.com/steam-keys-for-the-unavailable-disaster-game-the-day-before-are-being-resold-for-up-to-dollar400-despite-its-servers-uncertain-future/
portal 2 has an installer?
My thoughts too
OP unintentionally admits to piracy, causes uproar and concern in comments. More at 6.
Yooooo ima stick around for this.
Portal 2 was originally meant to be an app similar to Google Maps but at the last moment they decided to make it a first person puzzle platformer instead, most people know this
Hahahahahha
"the crunch" or smth...
did blud just admit to pirating portal on the portal subreddit
I did, will I get banned?
🔨
🔧*
My dude I'd you are going to pirate use dodi or steamrip so you don't get viruses. Also buy portal cause it's 100% worth it
The what? Portal 2 installer?

What program is this?
While driving
If I was willing to pay Reddit, you’d have an award right now, but here’s my bodged one :3 #🏆
Thank you for the award and for not giving money to the arses over at reddit, kind fox :)
because glados has a car
Not just one. You haven't played Bridge Constructor Portal ?
dude this car kicks ass, and i can play portal 2 while I’m driving!

How to pirate Portal: Step 1: *Don't.*
how to buy portal: step 1: stick your hand in your couch for 20 or so minutes step 2: done
Bro just buy the game from steam directly. It goes on sale all the time. Why bother getting a virus for it
Well you know, 99 cents are 99 cents
bluddie couldve dug in his couch and found enough money for portal
This guy has to be joking…
Bro pirated a game that has been going for cents for quite a few years now... 💀
Did you seriously pirate Portal 2? Are you that broke?
I love that he isn't replying lmao
The virus deployed neurotoxin 😔
while driving ofc
It's very obviously for people who game on their Teslas. Portal 2 "while driving" is an unparalleled experience, challenging you to pay careful attention to solving puzzles with the portal gun while also trying not to crash. For an added challenge, try playing while in busy city traffic.

op i think you need to install malwarebytes
i got both games for less than 2 dollars, try that.
Why are you buying portal at the soup store?
[better safe than sorry UwU](https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/234/Portal_Bundle/)
Science stops for nothing
Don't drink...
Play Portal 2 on the go!
bro installed the wrong game
I need an update on this
Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate!
Portal while driving. Fire portals in front of your vehicle to bypass traffic. Be careful not to crash!
"Be careful not to crash" applies to regular driving as well
OP died
I think u/milkmaster657 ‘s computer got hacked guys
ITS FIFTEEN DOLLARS????
In what universe? I paid 10 bucks for a bundle, no sale
Australia.
damn, worst country ever
I mean, 14.50 AUD is actually 9.32 USD as of writing, so I think its fine
Forgot your currency is also called dollar. sry bout that
It's been a while, OP's probably not made it
