It is my business if in the long run it hurts my hobby which it does. Piracy hurts every gamer, sooner or later studios close down. Just look at the fucking freemium model, it started because of this. You need to be online, buy stuff, do micro transactions. No need to buy games anymore. Anyway I am not preaching. I simply suggested that instead of wasting your time on cracks which are half assed and could possibly affect your computer with a ton of virus and malware, why not just spend a little money and buy the thing.
And no I don't have to wait 5 years. I said on average every game released in the last 5 years is available for very cheap. Please read my post carefully if you are going to quote me.
No it really fucking isn't your business what I play in the comfort of my home and what I do not. It is MY business, and not anyone else's. Dont delude yourself there mate.
Ofc piracy hurts, but posting in forums like these wont help a single god damn bit. You want to change something? Really make a difference? Contact the proper authorities and report it to them. Ask them to take down the sites.
When you see a drug problem for example, you dont preach to the addicts, they are not children, they did what they did by their own accord. What you should do (and is being done as we speak) is you get to the root of it, you get the guy supplying the drugs, not the the guy using it. That wont change anything at all.
What you "suggest", is as preposterous as me saying "you should stop eating because i'm on a diet".
This is not 1997, and we are not children, if we get malware, it is our own fault, and we dont. In the past 10 years, i have downloaded probably thousands of pirated games and software's and never once gotten any kind of malware. And if you want to stop piracy, stop ALL the piracy, dont use any kind of pirated software or watch ANY pirated movie or listen to ANY pirated song. See where im going with this? This is a whole lifestyle that you have to change, and if you say just dont pirate games, than you are as hypocritical as a prostitute preaching the bible.
Again, with the speed the games are releasing these days, if you can wait anywhere in a span of 5 years, good on ya, but I and im sure millions of other gamers, want to play the game WHEN it comes, not several months or years later. Plus it is not a sure thing that as games get old, they get cheaper, Dying light is the prime example of that. Released 9 months ago and still at full 59.99$ on steam. I know because I loved it and will buy it whenever the price drops. But im still waiting. And as im sure you know, as a game gets old, it looses a lot of players, so for games with multiplayer, its probably the shittiest idea to wait for it to get cheaper, as in a few months or perhaps in a year, you wont have anyone to play with online and the get the full experience that the game has to offer.
Again, its not " a little money", and this sentence is probably the most relative sentence ive ever read. Whats "little" for you, may not be for someone else. In pakistan, gaming has not taken off as in other countries, so normally when someone gets a gaming computer or a PS or xbox or what have you, they dont have any money left over to spend on games, this is especially true for PC gamers as good hardware can costs in hundreds of thousands of rupees.
I hope you get an idea what i'm trying to say here. I got a little carried away there but the point being, dont push your own ideals and beliefs on to others. We can do whatever we want, however we want without explaining to anyone. So, stop posting in this thread unless you want to post about a game or crack release. This is not a request, its the thread rule. Im actually amazed no admin has already deleted all those stupid posts (mine included) already.
