Piracy is a way to test shitty games I would otherwise not buy...like "open season" and games companies thought were a good idea but in reality nobody will buy.

Actually I told you that the virus came from one of your torrents, not from the forums. Obviously you can't get a virus from a forum. Edit: Its nothing personal TripleA. Check your inbox.
Oh and piracy drives hardwares sales?
Really, then explain why the PSP is such a failure?
What about the Dreamcast? Piracy on the the DC was so simple it wasn't even funny. Playing back ups on that machine was a breeze. (Just don't get them from DCF, otherwise you'll get a virus.)

Heh. Point taken, but I knew he was flamebaiting just to get some attention. Just wanted to point out how far and low an internet tough guy will go.
Remember yesterday, when he asked a mod to lock a topic he started because people thought the link he provided was shit?
Thanks for proving our points, cry. I'll keep calling you like this. If I ever care to indulJe in discussion with you.
PS : I'm leaving that typo in plain sight. arguing grammar on the internet makes you look really smart !!!!! do it again!!!
Actually I had the post locked because of the inflamatory anti-piracy rant found in the posted article. I hadn't realized it would cause so much trouble. Honestly, I had just skimmed over that part. And Hitto, you can call me out any time you wish. I'm always up for a debate.
Anyway, I have heard Sega employees state that piracy was a major contributing factor in the death of the Dreamcast. Some of them feel the system was doomed the second it got cracked.
Its a sad fact considering how much I loved Sega. And yet at the same time, I owned a bunch of DC back ups. (Hundreds) So in a way, I helped kill one of my favorite systems and the company that created it.
Lets face it, Sega has never been the same since the DC failed.
I suspect the same thing is happening with the PSP. Now you can say the software library is lacking. (That's a point of view thing really.) But with all the PSP systems that have been sold, PSP games should be doing a lot better than they are. As I said before, there hasn't been a single PSP game in the top 25 NPD sales for the past 8 months.
