And "Downloading gives us the option to spend the money on the developers that deserve our money as we save money from not buying crap games that we later regret buying and then cant afford to buy something we actually like."
That's why you rent and read reviews. If you buy a bad game then it's your loss, sell it to someone else that might enjoy it. The world doesn't revolve around your every need, you win some and you lose some. |
To the first part of your answer:
Yes you did.

I mean, how can it be morally wrong to get for free something someone else did and wants money from when it's actually doing them absolutely no harm? It's more like the other way around, actually, if you ask me. See, you make a game. Now there's this guy who's never gonna buy your game, but he does want to play it and has the means to do so, without doing you or your product no harm. Would you really deny it? Why? How can that be moral?
Hell, we are talking about a business already, bringing morality to the table makes no sense to begin with. |
Yeah you're right, the pirates wouldn't buy it in the first place because they can illegally download it for FREE. It is a choice. Some people never buy any games and pirate them all. Are you saying that if it was impossible to pirate the games then they wouldn't buy any? They are not entitled to something even if they weren't going to buy it anyway. I don't understand how people try to justify stealing. I have pirated some songs, do I think what did was right? No because it's ILLEGAL.
Anyways, people who think the used game business is worse:
How would the game industry fair if every single person pirated vs. every single person buying used copies. Obviously the gaming business would die if everyone pirated.
For the second part of your answer:
What is a good game for a rewier is not nececerly a good game for me and that is more true today then ever.
Ive been buying games since 1980 and i know how much crap games you buy over the years and how many times you havent been able to buy something that actually was a good game because you bought something shitty now wort your money.
Since downloading has become easier i actually buy more games because i allready know wich games i like and enjoy, my buying habits of buying shitty games are close to non existant which means the money i saved in from those purchases went to games that were worth it to me.

Nah, I never said it was illegal everywhere, I said pirates(People who download illegally) choose to pirate because they can download it for free.
You aren't pirating if it is legal. It still doesn't make it right though.
