Yes.

Downloading numerous paid games and add ons from friends'  PSN download list, "borrowed" warcraft 2 from a friends' house, knowing I'm buying "unoriginal games"(does this count?), and piracy.

Only instances that I can think of that sort of count:

Used my friend's PSN download list to get Battlefield 1943 on my PS3.

My neighbor's tenants moved out so he invited us to look through all the stuff they left behind. Among their trash I found of bunch of old PS2 games including Smackdown Here Comes The Pain which is one of my favorite games so I took it.

I don't know why but your description there reminded me of a generic Fallout scene, entering an abandoned house and snatching some things valuable to you.


Yeah that is because the entire Fallout series is based off my life. Wait until I go into outer space. The series reaches a whole new level of awesome.

Mutated beings on every level try to kill you all the time?

Since I was a child, with C90's full of spectrum games, all the way up to modern custom firmwares and softmods.

When I was a kid I used to steal games when I could.

I remember taking Quake from Costco, sitting down on a reclining chair display while taking the CD case out of the box and sticking the game in my underwear.

I would say I was about 10 or 11 at the time.

I also took Duke Nukem 3D from Staples. I got caught that day and he made me give him the box and he kicked me out of the store.

I had already removed the CD case from the box though.

 

I used to be such a klepto when growing up. 

 



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Many, many times. Never a physical disc though.

Yes, I'm a master thief if pirating counts.

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.

Evil and pesky viewtiful_jon!

....funny comments until someone mentions that this stealing is paid by everyone buying games at Gamestation, as such "leakage" has to be funded by someone.

Ooops...

Well just so you know when I worked in Gamestation this was very common, out of the 4 other stores I knew people in all stores did it, One store in particular was really bad and got caught cos no only did they take the stuff but they used the work PC to run there ebay accounts and had a lot of stuff ready for posting when the auditor came in for a random visit..

 Anyway now the company is owned by GAME and the computer system is different I dont know if its as easy to get away with doing what I used to.
