Do any of you feel bad when you don't buy the game?

[soliunasm]

As stated, do any of you actually feel bad for not being able to buy the game you are pirating?
I make it my duty to purchase the game I have pirated if I like it because:
A. I want to support the company/dev team.
B. If it's a good game, you should absolutely pay for it.

I'll agree with you on the sentiment that if I like the game, I will buy it. Typically the only games I will pirate (for a short period) is only the games that I have no ability to obtain quickly and want to "try before I buy".

For example, Osu! Tatake! Ouendan! was one of those games that, while it looked good, I wanted to make sure it was worth the purchase (yes, it is).

I feel bad cause I know how hard it is to make a game.. well.. I only made Flash games, but those are already hard to make.. I imagine how much work takes to make a "big" game.. :/

I pirate most of my games cause they're way too expensive over here.. been trying to buy more though..

 

[kallekall]

I feel bad for some games. But I often buy the game I want after a while. Even though I got I chipped Wii a actually own more games that I have bought then I have burned.

But I think the companies put in to much limitations in the game. Even though I in some cases see why they have to. But that does not mean that I accept that they do it.

Edit: spelling...

Free better than pay. 'Nuff said.

 

[Armadillo]

Nope , don't feel bad.

 

[Salamantis]

I am not really a 'gamer'. I hardly play games and when I do just for a short while and NEVER finish any games. I do have the money to pay for them, but I don't want to since it's something really that I don't care about.

Only a fool would part way with money he doesn't need to.

Oh and I am not voting as none of the choices apply to me. I pirate because I can, not cause I can't afford not to

 

[moozxy]

Nah, if I went out and bought every game I play it'd cost a fortune, it's thanks to pirating that I've been able to have the full gaming experience on the respective handheld/console. That being said, I do buy games I really really like partly to support the gaming team, but more because I like to have the hard genuine copy of things.

I dont feel bad about not buying a game, but when I launched soma bringer in jap version to check is it good I felt bad about it (but not as a pirate way , but as "what I am doing spoiling my game experience when they will someday make ebglish version").

ARRGH!!!!

off topic: we need a pirate smiley.

 

[Sinkhead]

An option that shows my feelings isn't here. I do feel bad about pirating, but I can't afford to buy the games.

 

[Westside]

I only feel bad if the game is good. I often end up buying the game it self.

When I played Halo on my xbox, I was glad that I downloaded it first before following the hype and buying it.

 

[Regiiko]

Where's the "I don't give a fuck, x corporation has shitty customer support?" option? D:

 

[Ace Gunman]

I don't feel bad because I buy all of the games I really want to support. Any other games I download I don't consider buy-worthy to begin with.

 

[JPH]

Nope.

I'm a heartless soul with no remorse for stealing games.

 

[2dere]

I'm poor, thats why I got my flash card. I'll buy games if I can get 'em for cheap, or if I can see me spending more than twenty hours on. But half the time, they take months to come out down here. If like a game enough I'll buy it, but I don't usually end up playing a game enough to warrant a purchase so why feel guilty about playing a pirated game for two hours?

 

[Pulka]

I can't buy an iMac AND games ,can I?

 

[Doggy124]

Where is an option for "Happy" ?

I do feel happy because I save more money.

 

[NeSchn]

I only pirate DS games because its the easiest. Otherwise I buy all my other games.
