The thing that pisses me off the most about game pirates...

Ok leaving the second hand market out of this thread. Here:

Valve's opinion:

Blizzard's opinion (5th question down on that page):

http://www.incgamers.com/Interviews/204/starcraft-ii-developers-talk-single-player/2

 

It seems only shitty developers have a problem with piracy. If anything piracy is the developer's fault, not the person's. I just showed you the top 2 developers whohave released only the best games with a spotless track record (not even Nintendo can claim that) agree that piracy is the fault of the developers not serving their customers. I think people should listen to the best of the best in the industry instead of bitching like Infinity Ward and Crytek.

 

So you're saying that if you could pirate Starcraft II and The Orange Box, you wouldn't?  I really doubt it.

For some odd reason you have this idiotic way of thinking that I guess pirates are somehow justified pirating because some developers aren't good enough?

If those people are such bad developers and their games are so bad, why are you playing their games again?

Don't you have better things to do than play bad games from bad developers?

And if it's so easy to make a good game, why doesn't every developer just make good games?

Oh, that's right, you're just making excuses to justify your habit.  Seriously, people like you make me sick.  You're just so full of yourself and make every excuse in the book because you just don't want to realize that you're hurting the people that have worked years of very hard work so you can play free games. 

Fuck them right?  You have to get your stuff for free even if it means hurting other people.  As long as you can find an excuse to let you sleep at night and you're sticking it to the man it's all good I guess. 

-edit-

It just completely astounds me that people still defend piracy.  I just don't understand it.  Why do you think it's illegal?  Because someon got bored and decided to do it for grins and giggles?  The goverment and games industry are in it together?  It's all a part of some bigger plot that has to do with aliens?

I mean really, if there was some way, any legitimate way, to defend software piracy, why would it be illegal?

You can continue to make excuses why you do it and they will continue be wrong and only make you look foolish, but it doesn't change the fact piracy is flat out wrong and illegal.

-edit #2-

Sometimes I even have to wonder why you're a member of these forums.  I say member, not part, because you're really not part of these forums, you're just a member.  This is a place for gamers and as far as I'm concerned you're not a gamer, you're on an even lower level than these people or these.

Nobody here really respects you or values your opinion and you and the other pirates are pretty much an all around waste of space here.  You're not gamers visiting a gamer forum. It's just mind boggling.  It's even more mind boggling that you're a pirate coming to a sales forum.

That's like me becoming a member of a botany forum even though I've never planted anything in my life.  Why don't you just go to some pirate forum where you can all jack off to each other because you all think you are all so awesome for sticking it to the bad developers.

A lot of name calling, very little point making. I am disappointed... You acted more immaturely than my 10 year old brother. Bravo sir, bravo. I'm sure there's a real life Achievemnt for that.

I will however adress your one single point. If a developer's game sin't as good as Valve or Blizzards why the fuck do they price it at the same price point as those 2 companies? Somehow I doubt I'll be able to find any pinting that costs as much as an original Picasso or an original Dali. Why should games be any different? I don't need to justify my habit, shitty developers just need to go bankrupt. Piracy is literally a "survival of the fittest" force. Your game is shit so it doesn't make money. Make better games that's the solution. If you aren't good enough to make good games, tough luck, go do something else, you don't deserve money. At least not the amount of money that great games sell for.

Also if it wass legal to jump off a bridge would you do it? Don't throw legality in an argument because that just means you are a very simple thinkiner with an extremely closed mind. For instance, there's no illegality to piracy in other countries. Therefore I say it's legal.

Also check yoru anger at the door when you argue. As I mentioned in my first line, you look like a fool (maybe you even are, but who am I to judge?).
