Another Look At Piracy

I pirate, but I don't give dishonest arguments for it. Like the "Try first" argument, it's just a lie or a self-deception to justify your dirty acts. It simply is very awkward to download and install a game and then later pay $30 or $40 for it. Why would anyone do that? Human psychology don't work like that. I know some would do it from time to time, if you by chance stumbled upon a cheap copy or a sale of a game you really love, but it's not something you'd do on a regular basis.

I pirate because I can. It saves money and has no legal or other negative consequences. That's the true reason for everyone who pirate.

So do we really want game sales to depend on the good will of overly-critical, spoiled people like Vlad?

I admit, the games of the early 2000's have made me spoiled. Can't help it. When you go from consistently having pretty awesome games to consistently being bomabrded by crap there's no way around being overly-critical.
