And $20 is a bit steep, considering Crysis: Warhead is only $30. $10 and it would have been better off, like Audio Surf or Fantastic Contraption (both of which I've bought).
Such an ignorant argument.

1. Did you ever buy a game with a credit card before you were 18? I know I used my parent's cards. And I also know EVERYONE does this.
2. No name developer? Crytek was a no-name. Stardock was a no-name.

Piracy murders all things digital.

Just because you have a handful of legal games doesnt mean you can pirate games.

So go ahead, try to make me look like a tool, at the end of the day you posted proof of you pirating games, and i probably have more games than you anyways lol.

and as for the other games , heres a pic:
Fallout 3.. Red Alert 3.. And downloading it is still stealing it.

You walk into a store, take a a product. Never actually open it though and give it back to the store.

You still stole it.

Must say though, impressive collection .

I'm sorry, all you guys saying 'It's two guys, who'd pirate from them?'

Your morals are screwed.

Sure, a big faceless corp may be easier to hate, but that doesn't give it any fewer legal rights - It owns the game just like the two guys do, and not paying for a game they put out is going to indirectly effect more people than the two indie devs.

I can see why you say what you do, but you'd just can't be selective like that. Do you really think everyone who goes to pirate that game goes 'Oh let's see who develops it first.'?

The industry is broken, and developers need to start changing their ways, as curly haired boy pointed out. His post was very well said, so I won't restate.

Is piracy right? No.
Do two indie devs deserve more respect than a big company? No.
Is DRM or suchlike going to stop piracy? No.
Does the industry need to change: Of course.

That doesn't just go for gaming either. Music, Movies, TV, etc... are all stuck in the past. Make a business model that works, or die and someone else will step in and do it right.

What? That's not true! I use my debit card online all the time! In fact, I just used it today! lol

They need a PIN when you use them in a store, but online you use a security number that is printed on the card.
