As much as I agree with anti-piracy view I am not arrogant enough to think I will change someone's mind. I will just say that I hope you buy games like Brawl, SMG, etc...

Lets not have yet another drawn out and pointless argument please...really please?

 

edit: And for the record I've downloaded things before, so I don't want people to think I am a purists in that sense. I think there are occasions when its a valid thing to do...I just don't think its something to do for checking out each new game or whatnot...I have done it for TV shows when I can't find them otherwise (DVD or on TV).


I mainly use it for TV shows too but if i can find out about a game my self then i do so and I go and buy the game that i like no mutter what the rewievers say.

 

I am guessing that the majoroty of downloaders may not be buying what they download and like but that is about lack of personal responsobility and the inability to appriciate great work of art.


 Like I said, I am not going to go around telling other people what to do.

 

I personally choose to avoid it whenever possible, but thats my choice.  I also recognize that a pirated game in 99% of cases is not lost revenue as it is usually to someone who never would have purchased it in the first place.  I have seen numerous places site this point in the past, I would presume from some sort of research done on the subject..but again I am not all the interested in the details of it..its just a subject that comes up a lot for someone whose life basically revolves around computers =P
