that is juz a reason to buy pirated things... once u have it then u ll not think buying the original

life is fun~ when life gets bored i go to video game when video game gets bored, i go to life~ la le li lo lu

why are you even here =.= you really think we all only stay at home and play games meh, so sorry to give you such sad impression

lol its all depend on the person opinion... dun piss offf... lol....

Im surprise that no one mention about this article.

Read it,especially those pirates.

Try to support more original games now.If not,PC Gaming will be as dead as Mac gaming and you all will be playing dumbed down crap with a gamepad on a console.

Dont think anyone want to see that happening,right?

theres a thread for that lone article already.

I just wanted to post that the pirates who come on here and defend being a pirate are really dumb. They go around telling everyone why buying original sucks and why pirated software is both easier to use and cheaper. The problem for them is: what happens if they win?

That's right, what happens if people who buy original read their posts and think: You're so right. I'm so dumb to buy original. You've really opened my eyes. Why should I have to pay more for something that everyone else is getting for free? Why should I continue being the sucker?

Think about it. If this happens, the market of those who actually pay for games will shrink and developers will make less games. This is why the smartest strategy for a pirate is to go on forums and tell everyone to buy original, convince everyone that piracy is bad, but then secretly pirate all your games yourself. This way, you have a big pool of suckers who will happily fund game development for you, while you quietly enjoy the results for free. Genius, eh?

so... mr wongkanyew you a pirate yourself? >_<

tell u what, MOST ori-gamers are hypocrite. they fight for ori games, but comes to movie, simple application, ringtones, mp3, did they really buy it? actually in the beginning i was thinking also no point defending pirates, as it's a negative deed. if want to support it better to keep it to my self. but day by day, these arse head getting bigger and become arrogant. simply bash people who play pirate game. which as a matter of fact, they also play the part in piracy, yeah not gaming but to other stuff i mentioned...

btw mr "smart-ori-guy", don't tell me ur purchase porn also. then tell me how much exactly ur precious Maria Ozawa per DVD?.. what? dload? hello, porn also is somebody's work. and they do have license...

Seconded that.

I dont think anyone here can afford to buy everything original.

Anyone here own an original AutoCAD?

woah i could have buy one new proton saga with the price of original autocad

autocad is not consumer software, it might cost a proton sage price, but in the return, you can use it to earn a BMW in a long run.

lolz damm right it is provided your company can prosper along the way lo haha

you can always sell it off if your biz fail, application software like photoshop, window office have pretty high resale value, at least much higher that your hardware.

lolz what you mean by your software

Hence the "hypocrites" should stopping yelling at posters who happened to buy pirated games "BAI OLI !!!111!11!11" and add a few angry smileys.

No the use of pirated goods and the habit of pirating stuff should be demonised if we are to expect people to change their attitudes.

The seriousness of the matter must not be down played just because 80% of the population pirates stuff.

Its like bribery. It needs to be chastised not down played.

It doesn't matter what you think is on my hard disk since you clearly wont believe me. I have done that a long time ago fyi.

No one could do that sudden drastic change but doing it step by step would be the best option.It's just ridiculous to change in a sudden.

If you like playing games,buy a few original games that you enjoy playing.Same thing if you like movies,buy the one you like.

Im not asking to delete all the pirated stuff you have.Dont think anyone here have enough money to replace every single thing they have to original.

Right...and I certainly dont expect other to follow me and completely get only original stuff etc.

Look guys...I'm not asking you guys to spend without thinking and go bankrupt...Its just that if you really wanted to, everyone can do their part to at least show some support by buying some titles.

We on these forums have always promoted everyone to support their favourite developers...If you did pirate...just dont bother with bringing that up in the forums...These forums have rules...Its not something to be proud of...Just like your porn stash or how you bribed that cop, or how you did nothing to help someone getting mugged...oooppps going off topic now...

Just do your bit to support your favourite games.
