Can't play TF2?
I downloaded "Crossover Games", a program that lets some games run on mac. Of course, I torrented this instead of buying it. I also torrented a copy of TF2. Although I've had a few problems a few times, I've gotten as far to run the game properly, and open up the "find servers" menu, and actually see servers. If I try to join one though, I get the error "Invalid steam key ID" or something. It wasn't ike I wasn't expecting problems, but does anyone have any suggestions?

Buy the game.
The least you can do is buy the seam key ID.

Get Steam and buy the game. Most likely you'll need to get Windows as well, cause as far as I know, Steam doesn't work on Mac. And how dare you torrent an awesome game like TF2? ;P
It was more of a test then anything. I wanted to see if this 3rd party thing worked, and I didn't want to buy a windows game, open it up, and it be completely useless.
I might buy the orange box now, knowing that it works.

None.
It actually says "invalid steam key id size", my mistake.
None.
You'd probably have an easier time with a singleplayer game like Half-life 2 instead. Call of Duty 4 is one thing, but Steam as a platform is another. I'm sure it's been cracked, but I'm also sure it's a lot harder.
Of course, the last game I torrented was Baldur's Gate when I lost the CDs.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new
