As a consumer I fully expect twestern to dev games without pay or recompense so I can download them for free from a torrent site. Does that make me a bad person?
and sarcasm as well apparantly, oh and please forgive my post about magnets in your other thread

Satire is the use of sarcasm.
Great Post Twesterm. Love it

This is the truth.
@ DaSimkin: I hate that whole "but piracy isn't stealing!!" defense that pirates love to trot out. While technically true, stealing is the closest common analogue to piracy that exists in the realm of illegal activity. That's why people compare the two all the time via analogies. So, deal with it. What you're doing is illegal and probably hurtful to certain people, and to the games industry as a whole. Even if you continue to pirate games, at least be honest with yourself about that.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Didn't know pirating video games was a good thing
Twesterm is really an anti-pirate.
I, however, don't oppose piracy in the 3rd world because it is a necessity to play any games there due to extremely lower purchasing power coupled with exhorbitant prices and economic suppression from the west.

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler

I'm sorry, but you can't just change the definition of a word to bolster your argument. You don't need a common analogue. What we're talking here already has a definition, as does theft. To keep arguing that it's theft is just willful ignorance on your part.

Ya know, even at that, I don't know why people think if piracy =/= stealing, then piracy = ok. Even if piracy is not exactly the same definition as stealing, it doesn't in any way excuse piracy, it's still wrong.
