I've played games on emulators, but most of those games I already had--I just wanted to play them at school haha

Have I used cracked Games yes have I Pirated myself no. As a general rule I do not use cracked games and pretty much always buy the game if it is worth buying. Where I would use cracked games is at LAN parties but only for the multi-player aspect and only at the LAN. LAN parties are interesting for me as I have purchased full price games as often as I have used cracked copies. Supreme Commander 2 is an example of me having to buy a game as I enjoyed it so much even paying the higher price offered on Steam. Black Ops and MOH are two more recent examples the later only purchased as it was 50% off for persons attending the LAN (A Smart move by EA I thought).

I am in a fortunate position in so much that I can purchase the games I need which takes a lot of pressure away.

Nope, never. I just don't have the need to do that. I'm not against it though. I'd rather play for free.

I enjoy pillaging vessels on the high seas. So yes, I do enjoy pirating very much so. No plans to stop anytime soon.

Once, when I was on vacation in Somalia. We jacked an oil tanker. It was pretty fun at the time, but I feel bad about it now and definitely wouldn't do it again.


Lol you must see the South Park episode where they go to Somalia to be pirates.

I've never pirated a movie or a game, some music yes. But those were the poor 14 year old days! I'd never distribute pirated material either, because that's just doucheworthy.

I've pirated probably more than 100 games, and probably more so far.

However, since I play less now, and have a lot more money than I had back then, I never pirate anymore and only buy games.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

yea emulators count, thats what i used for mother 3 anyway

Well technically if you use your own BIOS from the console and game, you aren't really breaking the law. 

Or so I think.

 

And to answer the thread: Yes.

I bought some counterfeit Gameboy Color games (I was a kid back then, no money for games), pirated PS2, DS, Wii, Xbox and Dreamcast.

But always had many original titles even if I had them pirated, cause I like to have them.
