Well I bet most of those guys who signed that petition are cheaters and pirates. I have no sympathy for cheaters, play the game as it was intended. If you want to mod the game, become a developer and make the game you want and mod it as much as you want.

These developers and publishers put so much time and money into a product, just to see it destroyed or given away for free at the expense of the general public who just want to play the game as it was designed.

That's one hell of an opinion you have there.

It's wrong in every possible way, mind you, but I applaud you for being willing to wave it in public. I certainly wouldn't have the courage required to out myself like this.

He's not wrong about most of the guys signing the petition being pirates. I'd wager the grand majority of those signing would not have purchased the copy at retail anyway. As a primarily PC gamer, I play lots of games on custom servers, and anytime someone in our group says something like "hey lets play on <insert company hosted server here>" a couple of guys say they can't, their copy isn't legal. It's a rampant issue, and it's the pirates fault, not the company, that the company takes away these options. If there was no piracy(or at least less), you can bet more companies would be leaving in the ability to run custom servers.
