if Iran was the game publisher for metro2033 would you be playing it just because it is on steam and cheap?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\install
and click on the PhysX exe file. After doing this a few times (did not seem to want to install properly right away), it finally seemed to install PhysX and after a reboot, the game worked. Don't know if this would be specific for those with ATI cards or not.
Anyone else get this?

Just because I am not going to resell my games purchased on steam does not mean I dont purchase other games and care about the computer industry and where video games are headed
it is exactly that kind of thinking that leads companies to release crap like FFXIV
