Oh please, stop trying to make up excuses, PIRACY is bad period. If everyone pirated, there would be no gaming.

 

Oh please, stop trying to make up excuses, WALKING is bad period. If everyone walked, there would be no cars.

this argument doesnt make any sense.  by walking you are getting  a vastly inferior experiance.

 

 

walking /= pirating

walking = doing wthout the game or music

pirating= making lots of copies of a car and giving them away for free.

 

The point was different things suit different people. When people want the packaging, online support, support developer, they'll go legitimate, when people want a sample, free game, instant digital copy, before release, no DRM, etc. they'll get the pirated version.

 

Both will co-exist, and always have done, and what's that? The video game market is actually growing?

when people want the insurance and the manufacturer support, they will buy a car. When people want a free car and not have to pay road tax, they will steal one. both can co exist. 

 

are you saying that if someone wants something for free its ok to steal it.  say i want the packaging, the manual, and the game for free, is it therefore ok if i went into a store and stole a copy of muramasa  because the indsutry is going? what about if people started all stealing NIS games? hey the comapnies going bust but that doesnt matter because the industry is growing! Plus people have been stealing for ages so that makes it ok
