I dunno what's up with the pirating threads lately.
In light of digital distribution, it's getting cheaper to distribute games (what is the cost of the electricity it takes to transfer a game?). Valve let's you know this by games on steam usually being cheaper.
I have no problem being a pirate. I'm not convinced my actions are detrimental. When I do buy digital media, it is because I want to give the creator of that digital media money as a reimbursement for the enjoyment they transferred to me (or I am confident that I am going to get). It makes me an informed consumer so that I don't have to buy things that I don't enjoy. If that is piracy, and if that is wrong, then I will gladly fight the system and accept the consequences.
