Have you ever stolen a video game?

Yes, if pirating counts 88 65.19%
 
Yes, even if pirating doesn't count 11 8.15%
 
Yes, but not directly from a store 9 6.67%
 
No under all circumstances 25 18.52%
 
Total:133

If pirating games count then yes.I've pirated quite a few PC games but no console games. I was really close to download Metroid: Other M but choose not to.

That I pirate a game doesn't mean I won't buy it though. If it's any good that is. I pirated Medieval: Total War, liked it and since then I've bought three Total War games including M :TW plus two expansions. Some games I've pirated because the discs I have won't work anymore.

 

If emulators count as well then...*looks at Wii*...ugh. But 99% of those games aren't sold anymore so I don't feel bad about it.

The amount of games I've bought used probably gives me the image of a daemon though.

no, but i have recieved a game as a gift which was probably stolen.

I had pre-ordered Halo Reach from amazon and they accidently sent two copies but only charged me for the one i ordered. Needless to say i didn't give the second copy back, but i guess its more amazon's fault.



Oh, by the way, I plan to steal EarthBound some day as I never played it and from descriptions and Youtube videos I already know I'd love it.

Last Chance: 3DS (or its DL service). If Nintendo doesn't announce a port within - say - the first year, I'll ask my nephew how to pirate and emulate it.

Used to work for gamestation in the UK, whilst there probally stole around 5000 games to sell on ebay, Got myself around 2600 feedback from it and half the people didnt leave feedback.

 

 Well they eventually caught me and all they did was fire me. Which is company policy, so definatly worth doing as the risk is so small.

OMG THIEF ! BURN HIM WITH FIRE !

lol j/k

Yeah when I was a kid and pocket money was scarce, piracy comes to the rescue! Actually my dad bought pirated games for me too.

Stealing from a store or a person: no. But I've pirated some Wii games, I admit it, because it is really easy and here in Mexico new original games are very, very expensive. Also, most of my friends play pirated games (Xbox 360 and Wii).
