I'd instantly mark your post for moderation if I felt like having mods interfere with this discussion. Let it be stated that you're trolling harder with every post you write. I have a part time job, I'm a full-time student, I work full-time in summer, and I'm an Information systems major / CS minor. I'm a programmer. Trust me, I know the ins and outs of the discussion, and it's not as clean cut as you would like it to be.

![]() If it isn't as clean cut as I would like it to be, why don't you go ahead and share with the class? P.S. Cut the trolling comments and empty threats. I haven't personally attacked anyone, at least no more than you did with your first reply criticizing my choice to use capital letters. You are no less guilty than I.

My explanation is the previous page (the one where I mentioned your lack of an argument). I'll quote it again, just in case you didn't read the whole post. Quote:

1) Most games are online nowaday, you cant play online without buying a serial key
2) If they put better piracy protection on games then this wouldnt be a problem. Im sure my flatmates could come up with something in a day 3) The games are about 7gb, thats pretty big. I sure cant be bothered to download them now, id rather go out and buy it 4) If they made the games more like £20 rather than £30-40 then there wouldnt be as big an issue 5) Why don't they offer selling cd keys off their websites? That way people who have downloaded it can play it online by buying a cd key 6) If they didnt make it so easy to hack games or just updated them all the time then more people would want to play it online *cough*Crysis*cough* 7) Why does it cost more to buy it from services like Direct2Drive than to buy it from a shop..

Ok guys I started this thread so I guess I'll toss my two cents in.Not every company that makes games is a giant corporation that is unaffected by lost sales.If you have a computer that will run the latest games then you can find the money to pay for the game or wait till the price drops.There's used on Ebay but the company doesn't make money on it.More and better demo's would help with the choice of buying or not but if they put out a good game they should be rewarded.I think their are a lot of people who steal the games that they can afford and rationalize about it.I can't afford to go out and buy them most of the time so I wait for the price to drop.

Saying I think people who make lame excuses for their sub-par performance in life are "a joke" is perfectly acceptable. What is not acceptable to me is people who bend words to fabricate excuses for their less-than-excusable behavior. Quote:
Not to mention which... I don't really care whether piracy hurts the bottom line. If you can't afford a certain activity, you need to make yourself able to afford it, not make lame excuses. I guess people just don't care to show respect for anything anymore- not even themselves. Or maybe they never have... I don't know.
