Quoting myself from another topic:
I for one am REALLY REALLY happy with the MW2 numbers. Serves those idiots at Activision right. I certainly hope it got pirated more than it sold on the PC.
Before anyone says "ZOMG PC PIRACY!!111eleven" notice that all top 5 of the games on the PC sucked the big one hard, except maybe the Sims, which probably sold more than Thriller.... |
I just don't get this philosophy, are all your brains hurting?
If you are against the product, you could be happy that it doesn't sell well.
Why are you happy that it has been pirated?
Do you want every politician you don't want to vote to be shot or do you just don't give him your vote?

See, not only do I not igive him my vote, but i vote for the other. Same with piracy. The way I see it, if you pirate it you vote for the alternative. If you don't buy nor pirate you just don't vote at all.
Thankfully, MW2 got pirated a whole lot and it will continue to do so.
@BladeofGod
MW2 was utter shit. It was basically a direct console port with nothing else for the PC, in other words shit, it deserved to be pirated hell of a lot more than it already has and sold many many millions less.

If you pirate you just break the law...
That's about all there is to it. You can try to disguise it as much as you can but that's what you are....

Yes, and in Nazi Germany it was illegal to not kill jews... I guess that makes killing jews just fine then.
You are picking even more at straws here with the whole "legal" issue. It isn't even illegal everywhere.
|
It was not illegal to abstain from killing Jews in Nazi Germany....
The only places piracy is not illegal is in like Sweden and other very lax countries.
The point is, every supposed good reason for pirating has a perfectly good non-pirating solution. You pirate it to try it out? That's what demos are for. You pirate it because you think it sucks? Don't play it then... You pirate it to show it is not worth the price? How about rent it or in the case of PC games, just wait to get it when it is cheaper. You can't afford to play all the great games? Get a job. You vote with your dollar, not with your download.
Buying = vote. Not buying or buying an alternative/competitor = vote. Download = free loader that thinks they don't have to vote and should get whatever they think they deserve.
