I don't get some people and there weird sense of entitlement to things that they have no power over. Pirates talk as if developers owe them favours or something. If you can't afford something, then don't buy it. I can't afford a Mercedes SLK, I also don't think it's worth $70,000, that doesn't automatically give me the right to steal it.
If you live in a third world country then that's your problem, not the problem of the people developing the games. If prices are to high in your country, then you should do something about it instead of stealing. Gaming is a hobby that requires a heavy investment, if you want a cheap hobby then collect bottle caps or play football instead.

Comparing software to physical properties does not help your case, neither.

It'd probably be good if you gave me a reason why.

Try checking out other piracy related threads. It's been dabated to death.
Or by just the word itself. Piracy.
If it's theft, why it is called piracy and not theft?
|
You didn't answer the question...
Piracy is theft in the same was as car jacking is theft. It's just a different type of terminology to brand different types of theft.
|
Again. Piracy is another word for "copyright infringement".

Ok, but how does that make it any less illegal? Is piracy illegal? Should it be encouraged? Does encouraging piracy have any sort of negative impact on the gaming industry? I want to be educated.
Edit: Actually you don't have to answer, I realise that your intentions from the beginning was to correct me and not to argue that piracy is a good thing.

Note that I never said anywhere that piracy is good.
It's bad. It's just not the same as theft that the big corps wanted you to believe.
I just don't like misinformation, that's all.
