I love how he blames the PC for a game that just sucked. Crysis + UT3 + Hellgate:London = piracy. I started pirating stuff after buying these 3 overhyper games which ended up sucking. (off topic: I still pay if i download a game and i like it enough; sent the guys that made BioShock 50 dollar check and the donated 15 to the AudioSurf peeps). I also really don't see how PC gaming is declining. Yes, it had a bad year in 2007, but that's mostly because the consoles released were finally able to come close to the power of PCs. As the current generation of consoles gets older we should see more and more games coming out for the PC again. Any other arguments I had on this have already been made above so no point in restating them.

Why are you sending them checks and donating? Why not just buy the game if you like it?

And you should have checked out reviews and demos before paying full price for those games...I played the demos for all 3 of those games and took a pass, no pirating necessary.

Well the pirating thing is like a demo version of the game. And i only don't pay for the worst of games. Besides that way the developers get 100% of the money, no money going to steam or best buy or w/e. I just got tired of wasting my measily college student income on crap so I took steps not to be swindled by a company's marketing department. I don't see it as wrong at all, i see it as karma. Maybe then developers will start releasing games worth paying 50 dollars (or 10 in AudioSurf's case). I'm not promoting bad pirating. If you like something support the company and give them what they are asking for. I do the same thing for movies. If I like the movie then i go and see it a second time in theaters. Hopefully that way we will have less Batman & Robins.
