Forums - Gaming - EA scares pirates into recommending a game be bought.

GTA IV pirates recommend you 'go and buy this one'

Okay, they don't actually say EA is the cause of this, but this comment, "and guys, seriously, go and buy this one! R* deserves it..." makes me wonder.

I mean, the thought of EA ruining this franchise seems to me to be something enough to scare software pirates into recommending people not pirate a game.

WTF. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

I've seen this with many things online such as some rippers will say that, program hackers say that so not just games therefore not EA but i dunno the cause.

Old mantra.  If you like the work, support the author.  Anime fansubbers put it on their subs all the time.

I agree with it.

Anyone thinking this is a special case clearly doesn't know much about such things.

Okay, it was half a joke anyway. I just liked the thought of EA backhandedly scaring them into even partially going straight.
