I have pirated about 3-4 games in my lifetime, and they were all on PC, and I do agree that game designers work very hard for their money, and I reward them for it. Also, it is just too much of a pain in the ass to pirate on consoles. It is effortless for music and not that complicated for DVD's.
I will still pirate stuff even when I am out of school and working as an attorney making a $50,000 salary. I am used to not paying for stuff and I plan on keeping it that way, and I understand that most of the money I spend is not helping people, just corporations. I will still go support bands in concert and will purchase some Blu-Rays to support those who need the help, or to get some of the very well done casing, etc. (like what the Criterion Collection does). I plan to keep purchasing video games indefinitely.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
