We must come to an agreement here: I propose pirating music and movies to save money to legally buy games

Pfft. Give Sony and MS any of my hard earned cash so they can continue to leech off games developers?

No I don't think so.

I'm not saying it's the same, I'm saying that both let players play a dev's games without the dev's seeing any money from said player.

The difference is that in the case of used games the dev has already seen the money, while a pirated copy of a game has never been paid for by anyone. 

"Show me the money!!!"
"Again??"

I don't see how you can't make the comparison - used games and piracy both cause the exact same financial loss to developers and publishers, the only differences are that one is considered illegal and the other is not, and also one the industry is actively trying to prevent, but the other it's actually backing off on attempting to prevent. When used games are more of a concern to the industry than piracy, it really shows you how it feels on the issue. :)

NO IT DOES NOT.  Again, a used copy has already 'caused' money to be paid to developers, whereas a pirated copy has not. 

The mere fact that no further money goes to developers in the case of used games does not make them equivalent.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I prefer to game on consoles, since it's not complicated and I prefer being on a sofa and TV but I understand people who prefer PCs. There's many advantages and inconveniences on both sides, it's just a matter of which are more important personally.



Great post from noname2200.



PC. Why?
I can plug my PC in my TV and play with a X360 controller any game I want like I was playing a console game. When it comes to shooters or strategy games, I plug my PC back again in a monitor and play with mouse and keyboard. Better graphics, better framerates and mods. It is a no-brainer really.

I only use my 360 controller with emulators. I don't use it in shooters as everyone else is using a mouse & keyboard.

Wrong.  I buy the game, dump the DVD's and put up a torrent, or upload it to Rapidshare or whatever.

Money went to the devs, and then they don't see one further cent from all the other people who use this copy of the game, just as the case is with used sales.
