It's hard to argue with point 10 though

 


This is the truth.

@ DaSimkin: I hate that whole "but piracy isn't stealing!!" defense that pirates love to trot out. While technically true, stealing is the closest common analogue to piracy that exists in the realm of illegal activity. That's why people compare the two all the time via analogies. So, deal with it. What you're doing is illegal and probably hurtful to certain people, and to the games industry as a whole. Even if you continue to pirate games, at least be honest with yourself about that.

 

I'm sorry, but you can't just change the definition of a word to bolster your argument. You don't need a common analogue. What we're talking here already has a definition, as does theft. To keep arguing that it's theft is just willful ignorance on your part.

 

Did you actually read my post, or just see that I was disagreeing with DaSimkin and mash the "post" button in an angry furor?



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
