Hate it, always have and always will. If you don't have the money for games you shouldn't game at all. Its not like you would go out to a store and start stealing now would you? Same thing....

I'm not rich at all, but at least I buy my games "original". There's still the "second hand" market, or is that even too much to ask?

 

No it's not the same thing. If I went and made physical copies of things in the store then it would be the same thing. If that was the case why the fuck should i give any money to the original maker if they didnt spend their resources or time and effort to make the copy? If you want to equate piracy with going into a store and stealing you atumatically lose. However I'm linient on this and I will say that it's like comparing apples to oranges.

 

Of course you can make physical copies, that's called counterfeit items. And why would you give money to the people who created the original thing ? Simply because if they didn't create it you couldn't have copied it, so you owe them something (which is called intellectual property).

 

If it's not their resources or their time or effort they deserve no money from me basically. Again if you wanna be going on about this, why aren't all types of gadget makers payign royalties for using Maxwell's ideas to his family? No they don't, yet they are blatantly using his ideas.
