-Why do you pirate?
So I don't have to waste my money on mere curiosity
-Why do you call the game "Backups" when they are clearly pirated and not of your own creation?
I don't
-If you want to try a game, why don't you borrow it/rent it/watch videos on youtube instead of pirating it?
Again, I don't want to waste my money on mere curiosity.
-How do you justify ripping the game companies off?
Games cost over $100 here, so fuck them.
I do not think piracy is all bad. I think that intellectual property theft is not stealing. Not making money (Piracy)is not the same as losing money(theft). I just do not understand why you guys try to justify it. I do not have a modchip installed. I have a wiikey sitting on my dresser, but I never got around to installing it.
You guys say that you download games to make sure that it is good. This is reasonable. What is not reasonable is that you never buy the game. I have never met a pirate that used the chip to try games.
I only own a DS flash cart and I still buy games if I think they're worth it.
Why do you fool yourselves? Why do you hide behind a thin vale of legitamacy? If you would just admit that you have a modchip because you feel elite when you use it or you are too cheap to buy games or that you feel you are above paying for games, I would be less annoyed. I will list some popular excuses and holes in them:
I can't afford games.
If you can't afford games, how did you pay for the system/modchip/dvds/bandwidth required to be a pirate?
That's like asking someone who doesn't own a car how they can afford to catch the bus.
The games all suck.
So why do you keep downloading them? Sell you wii and move on.
I don't really see any point here.
Nintendo charges too much.
They have to make up for pirates and they have to pay the bills. Games cost millions to make and advertise. Support them by paying them.
Oh no they fucking don't Nintendo, and the industry in general is rolling in cash, are you a rep or something?
If I bought the game, I would not get my moneys worth out of it.
Then buy a PS2 and get some cheap games.
wtf?
I will admit that I used to pirate DS games. Why? I felt soooooooo cool when I bought it and saw no reason to pay for the games. Now I see games as entertainment that will stop being as high quality if I do not buy games.
If you only pirated because you thought it was cool then you really didn't spend much time thinking about it.
And a closing note:
Games are much less fun when you pirate them. You lose interest quickly. If you buy it, you are stuck with it and forced to play until the game becomes fun. I but many more of you would have liked SMG if you had purchased it.
All pirates are familiar with being spoiled for choice, and any that don't have ADHD don't find it to be much of an issue.
I own 8 wii games. I paid 50 USD for 6 of those 40USD for 1 and wii sports was included. I have 2 pirated wiiware wads. I have never purchased anything from the WSC.
I own 24 Wii games, I paid over $100 NZD for each of them, I have 50+ Wiiware/VC titles all legitimately purchased and 30 something DS games for around $100 each.
I'm a proud fuckin' pirate and I'm speaking more with my wallet than you do.
