Gaming is a LUXURY therefore piracy has ABSOLUTELY NO JUSTIFICATION!!! I am no saint and approximately 12 yrs ago I engaged in such act with kazaa for music and DBZ episodes in Japanese. I don't earn a whole lot but I buy what I can as far as games and movies (barely making 12k a year but I also go to college). I really hope he ends up owing millions just like that guy in Australia who uploaded that Mario game (forget if it was SMG or NSMBW). I love how people say "oh but teh homebrew." Seriously, spare me. Any semi tech savvy person can do so much more on a built comp from newegg using linux and still have more power than the ps3. Linux was never a promise and thanks to Georgie over here the "homebrew brigade" lost a nice little feature. Yes we own the product and yes I should be allowed to turn my ps3 into a vacuum cleaner, but when I am using a Sony product to try and play NES games which belong to Nintendo, or obtaining games for free that can put up and coming developers out of business then we have an issue. Ohhh but but they are teh badz developers! Hmmm lets see. Do we want more developers to enter the business and try new things or is it acceptable to have more mediocrity and more of the same every year from a big name dev or publisher such as Activision? Look at Pandemic, Cavia, a couple. Then we have the excuse of "but ohhh that game is only 6 hours long but back in the day games took foreverz!!!" Hmmm unless you were playing an rpg, game were fairly short. Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3 I can beat within the hour mark and I am sure many others can beat them faster than me. The way I see it, as long as you enjoy the game it is worth the price tag. Oh what was that? You complain that games are 60$? How much were games during Nintendo's NES reign? Thought so. Unlike the near monopoly Nintendo enjoyed, nowadays we are blessed with so many options thanks to the competition and we should be thankful. Anyways sorry I am all over the place, I just hope I somehow got my point across. I don't expect to change minds but at least show a point of view. |
Again if this is about piracy why is sony not sueing for that? I mean really guys. Do some research. Read the lawsuit. Your point of view is great, it just does not apply here as sony is not sueing for piracy. Guess i'll say it again, sony is not sueing for piracy.
