It has nothing to do with intelligence. It's all about greed and anxiety.
We pirates are anxious greedy bastards who want our free slurpy download of a game that isn't really even out yet. And we want it NOW!
We all know the game will be out when it's out, but we can't cope with our anxiety and greed and therefore whine and complain about the lack of an early dump because we don't have anything better to do. Yes, we could go outside, yes, we could play a different game, but the fact of the matter is, we are GREEDY. The hundreds of downloaded games we already have aren't enough, we need this one too. All other games pale in comparison to the prospect of having a new one on our flashcarts. If we go outside or play a different game, we may miss the big release party. Can't have that.
We are actually angry with ourselves for being so greedy and it ends up being taken out on other forum members. So we have people with idle fingers itching to play Zelda causing threads like these to appear out of anxiety and greediness.
The abundance or lack of intelligence has nothing to do with it. We are all 13 when it comes to video games.
