Word of Wisdom - the big problem is that if he didn't pirate 20 games doesn't mean he would buy all 20 with cash as new copies from retailer. He could just as well buy two get 5 more from secon hand and rent rest for example.

 

You're missing the point-- whether the pirates say or don't say they would buy the game is irrelevant, they are still getting something for nothing.

Even if we pretend there's truth to the I would not have bought the game anyways argument, why should you pay and they shouldn't?  Games aren't made for donations.

 

Twesterm you need to read the whole convo before responding and nitpicking his response. Zlejedi wasnt responding to if it was right or wrong to pirate, but to a post about the financial aspects of pirating. Hence why he broke it down in the way he did. Like I said before, without extensive research to prove a pirates habits, debating on whether or not they would actually buy the items in question if they had to is just null and void. Its nothing more than opinion with no proof to back it up.
