@Gaurdian....................


JEEEZ dude..............

Honestly i dont like people who pirate games............but downloading one game doesent make you a pirate............

but you are now personally attacking ME............

first off...im not justyfying anything....im telling people why i did not buy it , I did not buy it cos i dont have a credit card , FACT........thats not an exuse , a justification...its a cold hard fact.


secondly , I know people like you , you want people to buy games soo that better games come out........well then my friend..you should be extra NICE to me , cos I get almost every game that is released......original......soo i think im a major contributor to the whole "buy real games" thing.

instead of attacking me , or anyone else for that matter , maybe try and think for once , and not shout out "people who pirate are theives!!!! " im no theif.................and if I never downloaded it , how would that make a difference to your life or anyone elses?............

Porky:

From you're form of reasoning, and complete lack of readable grammer i think i can assume you're >13 in age.

Pirating a game because you are unable to buy it is just about the stupidest excuse i have ever heard. Don't have the money? You can't have it. Don't have the means of paying for it? You can't have it. Period.

Its not something like you need this for some project or you flunk out of college, and the payment site is down.. its a $20 indie game made by two people and you feel that it's your undieing 'right' to HAVE to play every game you want, regardless if you have the means of paying for it.

Get a job. That goes for all you pirates: Get a job and grow up a little.

Lets all go to pirates' houses and "download" their computer to our house, cause we don't want the inconvenience of having to actually buy it. I mean come on, it our God-given right to take anything and everything we want when we want it because we want it.

really?... that's your answer to stealing? your reply is beyond ignorant. If you can not buy it or do not have the money then you simply do not get to play the game. Stealing one copy or stealing 20 is still stealing. You CAN NOT justify it at all.

Good for you buying a "real" game. Would you like a gold star or a pat on the back? You are a thief and stealing a copy of the game takes money out of the pockets of the creators weather you think they deserve it or not.

Would you not be a bit angry if someone stole hundreds of hour of work you put into something? Would you really want to put effort into another project only to have it stolen because some kid can't buy it legally. Is that right in your eyes?

He has a point. Instead of shouting at pirates and treating them like crap I think more anti-lulz people need to start giving these people an incentive to actually buy the title. Because I know if you lot treated me that way I'd be pretty opposted to doing what you wanted me to do.

Also, I pirate. I have a fulltime job and I'm 21 years of age. Don't use the "grow up and get a job" comment anymore because it doesn't fit. I don't drop money on games that may or may not be good. I drop money on games that ARE good (which is a lot of games) Not everyone who pirates is underage and not everyone who pirates doesn't have a job. Just most of them

And like I said, I haven't even pirated this game. It's just not interesting to me. But if I did, now, out of spite, would that be a lost sale? No!

So it's ok to steal the game because wouldn't have bought it any way? How are you better than any other thief out there? I wish I could come up excuse after excuse to steal.

CVV number = security code. it is a 3 digit number

look @ your card's front side, then rotate it so the rear is facing you - next to the strip where you sign youir name, is a set of numbers. in my case, there are 4 numbers and then 3 numbers. those last 3 numbers are your CVV number.

mine is ... ha, you don't expect me to let me know, do you,

This is soooo messed up.

My two cents: I'd agree that $20 is WAY too much for a game that looks (it probably wasn't) like it was made in Flash...Like someone said, Crysis Warhead is $30 on Steam.

This hardly costs them anything to distribute, since there's no hard copies. I'm sure Steam and maybe Nintendo takes a percentage of their profit, but still. I think this is partially because they decided to ask for too much money, and that just won't fly. I think the pirates would have pirated it regardless, but there would be a LOT more buyers if this were $10.

Including me. I would buy it if it were $10, but as is I'll content myself with the demo. Which was amusing, but didn't look like the full game was going to be anything other than a neat Flash [type] game. Pick up and play, like Audiosurf or Fantastic Contraption as mentioned previously.
