Afamad 2.1

http://img207.imageshack.us/i/sgpic.jpg/ It is done.

I should get a shirt that says, "My name is Afamad and I smell like applesauce.", and wear it to school.

If anything, you're going to be the RDMer Korean.

Your face is the strangest player.

I'm sorry, I'm too busy watching some asshole girl through a cat-sheep thing off a building into a moving truck.

Then don't trade the game in. Sell it on Amazon or something. Then you make a profit, and you get rid of a game you don't want.

Please enlighten me.

Reviews, walkthroughs, gameplay videos? How come those don't work for you.

5 people pirate the game, and no one profits at all. Not the developers or the store selling the game. 5 people buy the game used, and someone already paid initial price to the developers, and give 60$ total to the people selling the game.

THAT'S WHAT DEMOS, REVIEWS, AND GAMEPLAY VIDEOS ARE FOR! TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIKE THE GAME!

Buying used games gives money to the store selling the used games. The developers agree to these terms if a game is used, because someone must have bought it before and paid $50 for the game. Someone pirating a game makes the developers lose money. Also, how many people that pirate games are actually poor and can't afford them?

15, almost 16. Your point being?

Then how come he doesn't buy the game.

A good review would tell you what is good about the game, and who the game is meant for. Demos should give you enough to tell you if a game is good. Reviews from IGN are crap because they're biased. Find a good review site. I read revies for games before I get them, and I've only regretted ever buying 2 games, out of hundreds. If this doesn't work for you, wait for the game to come out and watch videos of the gameplay.

Or you could read reviews and play a demo to see if the game is good enough. You know, that's what they were made for.

The profit WOULD be there if you actually managed to get a job to pay for the game. I can assume you won't stay shit-poor forever, and you can actually afford games sometime in the future.

Read my above post about luxuries and necessities.

It can't be. Jen says that even if someone posts the link to the torrent, it'll just be deleted.

How about you wait till you get a job, get out of college, and MAKE the means to actually get the damn game. Games are a luxury, not a necessity. If you can't afford it, then don't fucking get the game.

Well maybe the game would be successful if assholes like you didn't steal profits from the company in the first place.

Like hell it's commensalism. The company is hurt because they lose potential profits. The pirate/developer relationship can be seen as parasitism rather. Company loses profits, pirates get a free game. Also, so just because "Life isn't fair" gives you the right to steal profits from people who work hard to make games?

Also, Jazzy has a point. Visceral Games isn't as big as EA. They don't make the same profits. So you can still pirate Dead Space 2, right? What about all those small company indie companies. I'm sure it's okay to pirate from them even though they're still starting out.

What about everyone else that bought the game? Do you think that EVERY single person who is buying the game should pirate it? If not, then that's not a fair deal for the person or the company.

"says fuck you for everything, so original, he can't come up with something else prolly" Anything I say you'll just counter either with, "LOLOL WHO CARES EA ALREADY HAZ LOTZ OF MONNEY." or " JUST PIRATE IT!!!!111"

Fuck you.
