Granted, piracy is obviously wrong, of course. And you are right in saying it's not justifiable. But you'll never understand what it is to live in a country where games can cost 100+ dollars. Over here, it's better in theNse last few years. But you guys can walk into a store and buy a 6-year old game for 5 bucks
I'd have to pay, best case scenario, around 20-30 dollars =P
Or, fuck, what about something like Suikoden II? Until recently, it wasn't on the PSN, so you'd have to pay upwards of FIFTY DOLLARS for a very old game. What exactly would Konami be losing if you downloaded the iso of the game...? |
So your government over taxing (tariff) a game justifies you stealing from the developer/publisher?

I didn't say that. Like I said, it's not justifiable, okay.
But if not for piracy, me and many others would have NEVER played games like we did. There are cases and cases. Thankfully, nowadays, at least in my country, it's perfectly reasonable to buy original games. Not to mention, there's always Steam.
But 10 years ago? It was either piracy, or nothing.
