That's not actually necessarily true, Twisted. There are a lot of ways to get PCs for very cheap, sometimes even free, that wouldn't necessarily apply to software. Like AW86, you've clearly led a life of relative privilege, and it's simply unfair of you to judge others by your standard of living. I, for one, have only bought one computer in my entire life yet I've had at least a dozen. Why is it, then, that my having a PC necessarily means that I can afford software?

I'll say this again - just because in YOUR life things have worked out a given way does not mean that your life is an appropriate model for the lives of others. Millions of people have computers they didn't pay for, actually, and your assumption that everyone who has one pays for one is laughably narrow-minded.

ah BLAMMING your life now huh.  grow up.  There are 100's of games I would have loved to play, but never got to because I can't afford to buy them all.  If I really wanted to play the game, say a new zelda comes out.  I will want to play that 1000%. there will be nothing stopping me from playing it.  I will figure out a way to get money, if I need to get a job at somewhere I woudl ahte like a convenient store or fast food or something.  If I coudlnt' then i would wait and ask for on birthday or christmas, if they didn't get me it I woudl still find a way.   Hell could even go and donate plasma a couple times a week for 40 dolars or something.  there are ways of getting money if you look.   I mean hell how many hours you spend wasting searching forums or posting on here about games.  you could spend that time looking for a way to make money or just working more hours at your current job.

 

No matter how poor I have gotten adn trust me I have been in negative for months till i got out, that just means I have to wait till i can get that game.  Hell I could even resort to borrowing from a friend or renting for a week from blockbuster or something.  Just because I'm struggling for a while doesn't GIVE ME THE RIGHT to steal. 

 

You aren't going out stealling food for yourself or family, or sleeping on the street because you can't pay rent or mortgage.  You figured out and cut back expenses in order to pay for those things.  NOw if you want a video game and are low on funds you have to cut back on other things to afford it.  Whether that means not buying a case of beer the next time you were going to or not going out to eat for a while.  That's part of life.  I dont' want to hear no Democratic shit and blame society and expect someone else to do it for you.  If you want something you have to work for it. 

 

Hell if you look at my games list, I have played a lot of games for current systems and yet I only own a Wii.  I have found a way to play and finish the other games for other systems if I really wanted to play that game.  And why I don't own the other two systems is because I can't afford to. 

Blaming?  Not in the least.  I too live a relatively priveleged life.  The thing is that I have perspective, and you don't.  I can afford to buy most of the things I want, but I'm sympathetic to the plight of those who simply can't.  You think being in the negatives for a few months is poor?  THAT is relative privelege.  The vast majority of people who pirate aren't allowed to go into the negatives.  If they run out of money, they just starve.  The idea of credit is foreign to them, and the fact that it isn't to us proves that we have so much more than the average pirate it is emberrasing.

Really, your whole argument is childish and baseless.  Every word of it drips of ignorant luxury, and shows you simply don't understand how good we've got it and how bad the REAL average person has it.  If anyone needs to grow up, it's you.
