I'm a Console Gamer so Console games are always a priority for me.

But in regards to the statement, I think Blizzard and Valve would disagree... Especially Blizzard...

There is a really good  thread about piracy in the gaming forum so I suggest you go read that so you can inform yourself about it some more.

You also seem to be either unable to read what I wrote, comprehend what I wrote, or most likely just conveniently disregard it to try and  repeat yourself like a parrot so I guess I'll just end this here.

lol like reading some idiots arguement on why piracy is okay is going to change my mind. And what points am I disregarding? the ones that make no sense? or the ones that are blatantly wrong?

Smooth Criminal: I'd be interested to see any numbers that prove Dragon Age has sold better on the PC than on consoles. VGC shows 2.4m combined multi plat. EA claimed 2.8 million shipped on the three plats. in an article from Feb. 8, 2010. (PC gamer). Ddl nos. just aren't available and being top earner on Steam back in Nov. doesn't mean millions in sales. I would guess the number of users to be higher on PC but how many paid for their copy? Sorry for off topic.

There must be a middle ground between nightmarish drm and abandoning the PC. The biggest drawback I see is that until the next consoles release there will be little incentive for devs to push the envelope. PC gamers will only get ports close to their system specs at the beginning of each gen. $maller pc-first devs will struggle with the increasing pace of the tech advance.

We need more Blizzards.

I didn't find it boring... the first playthrough of it was about as much fun as i've had with a game.  There just isn't much to make you go back, and you can get through it pretty quick.

The best parts are the parts where you are fighting the Crimson Lance and other groups of people, and that just doesn't happen much... with some Mods there would be a lot more to play but eh...

That and the loot system could of been done a lot better.  It was cool they used procedural generation, but they didn't take any risks and played it as safe as possible.

It's the videogame equivlent of like... Monk.  Great for a while, but then it gets repetitive.

Compared to consoles, it ends up being a pain, because the level of diversity in equipment, need to update the OS and other drivers, results in the chances of code not working as intended.  With consoles, you have one target you code to.  And you build libraries that work with that, and you use those libraries.

So, if someone were to go in and make copies of intellectual property in a corporation that is classified against the wishes of the company, and do so without paying for the research that went into developing the intellectual property, that is what?  That is normally considered theft of intellectual property. 

Or, let's say you provide someone the tools to dig a ditch in your house, and they do it, and you don't pay them for this effort.  If that is not theft, then what is it?

Let's say also that a theater performance is being given live, and admission to the performance is charged, to cover the costs of the production.  You end up sneaking in and not paying, against the wishes of the performance of the theater crew.   That is what?  Hey no one is harmed, right?  Does not one rob the performers of their money when doing that? 

All these are considered theft, or at least fraud.

If i watch a stream online of The Dark Knight, im not breaking the law. But if i copy the same movie and watch it on the same computer, im breaking the law.

The copyright law is flawed.

If i stream The Dark Knight online to a bunch of my friends im breaking the law, but if i have them over for pizza and we watch the same movie, im not breaking the law.

The copyright law is flawed.

Its not stealing whatsoever.

Actually Morrowind had to sacrifice something due to XB1 limited RAM. Although Bethesda succeeded to offer wide open spaces and dungeons, thanks to a clever dynamic loading, they couldn't avoid sacrificing continuity between indoors and outdoors. The almost contemporaneous Gothic, PC only, had some separated underground vast levels, but offered continuity between outdoors and all the buildings on the surface and some small and medium dungeons too.
