@Valknut,

Uh...depends? I'm cheap when it comes to a few things...I wait for good deals. There are far worse things than being called "cheap." I mean...you're fucking paying $0 for a game, that's cheap, that's all there is to it.

Do you really feel right in paying absolutely nothing for videogames and other entertainment though?

I mean, it costs them money to make that stuff, even if you think they don't deserve all that money, you're just going to pay NOTHING for it?

If you can sleep well at night with that, whatever. Perhaps I just think if I'm on a limited budget (which I am, paying off student loans, a car, college tuition, just bought books), maybe my priorities shouldn't be on videogames currently. If I'm that strapped for cash I'll just keep saving up and buy games less often. I don't feel that gives me the right to pay $0 for games when others pay $50. That doesn't make any sense.

Maybe getting a job that pays more than minimum wage is a start. If you're too broke that you can't drop $50 every other week (a busy gaming schedule I would say), then I'd say you need a better paying job...

 

School eh. Well school is about 7000$ in expenses every year, my 3 kids are around about 3000$ every month. food bills house car gas, my job isnt minimum wage, that was more of an example. I live in the Northwest territories, and my job pays around 28$ an hour and I work 80 hours a week. You do the math. Yes i think its fair i pay 0$ for a game for my kids, a game up here costs roughly 100- 120$, everythig must be air lifted in, and Fedex doesnt exsist here. The internet however does.

 

My kids live 4.2 miles from anyother family out here, they have a 4 hour drive to school every week where everyone stays until thursday, when they come home they do homework chores then they can do w/e they feel like. kids need fun, fun didnt cost 120$ when I was young, but it does now. Its not that i wouldnt pay 40$ like the average guy, but I know what games cost, how long they last, whats good and whats bad. No game thats ever been made is worth 120$ or more in my eyes.

If they want to give me an option for free or paying, they shouldnt trust the morals of man. Pretty sure even the bible mentions something about that, I guess I agree with it on something.
