Why do you pirate?

[alidsl]

So i don't have to cycle three miles to get a game

now I can get as many as I want without leaving the house

 

[GameSoul]

I'm 16. I'd much rather be spending $30-60 for a new ipod or to get rid of this shitty mickey mouse tv with the ears as speakers. Not to mention I don't have a job. Thanks for the offer, but you ain't making me buy games anytime soon.

failure at it's finest. not my room btw. this is obviously a weeaboo's headquarters.

 

[monaug5]

I pirate because I am not a millionaire yet.

 

[alidsl]

to become a millionare you pirate that way you save alot of money

I.E Steve Jobs probably illegally downloads Windows programmes

I pirate to prove that rapper wrong, and it worked!!!!

This rapping freak made this movie like what??? 20 years ago!!!! Only more and mutch more people are making backups now, and well they don’t sell floppy's anymore (the rapper is right on that) but games and software is more sold then ever!!!!!! Xbox360, wii and ds are all hacked console's but they sell a hell lot more software for them then the ps3 that not hacked yet, so copying that floppy(cd/dvd) isn’t killing the game and software industry!!!!

The real reason I download games is to check them out and play them early, if I like them I buy them. That why I have over 100 real xbox360 games, ps3 just 20, mostly because multie platform games look like crap on ps3 and because you can’t check them out. And don’t see play the demo!!!! Anyone remember haze???? The demo is great  so you buy that crappy game only to discover its only level one that’s great, after that you free yourself from your suit and change the whole fantastic game (so far) in one piece of shit, if I could have checked it out in a good way, I would never have bought haze!!!!

Because im used to pirate stuffs....heck ive been pirating since i was a kid!!

 

[SonicRax]

I only pirate due to a lack of sufficient funds for getting every game I want.
If I DO have enough money to get a game that I want though, I'll probably just go out and buy it. (¬¬)

 

[Range-TE]

to me, because well..... lack of decent stores here ! (even gamespot stores are all pirated here) (except for the consoles/hand held it self and accessories)

 

[Splych]

Things are overpriced, it is free.

But then again, if it is ever cheaper or I got the money, I will get it.

 

[Rock Raiyu]

Raising a family of several kids is hard on my mother who raises on her own. It's a way to save money so she doesn't have to worry about buying me any games. Plus, some of the games end up being garbage anyway so she doesn't waste any money.

 

[Raika]

I posted here before that I pirated because I didn't have any money. Well but now I have some (maybe for 2 games) but I pirate because I feel like it, COS A PIRATE IS FREE!

 

[GameWinner]

Games cost to much now.someone shouldnt pay $40-$60 dollars for a game that might suck.also 100 pack of DVD-Rs are like $10 here compared to $60 for
one game

 

[basher11]

i use to buy games. my mom was tired of buying me games so she said to me "your getting a flashcart so we can save money"

i would seriously buy the games i have on my memory card. i'm just not old enough for a job YET. i still have a year left. and the fact that i dont have money.

Haha! Steve Jobs most likely does! He does hate Microsoft.......so BitTorrent for him!

 

[Advi]

Because video games are overpriced. I actually think warez makes it more fun in a sense.

I still buy my music from Napster, though.

 

[Capt.Pwnage]

because i don't want to waste money on the games that i play only once a week.

also, for teh lulz.

I pirate because it's fun, and that I like pirating and breaking the law and being a rebel mwahahahaha

I do it for a few reasons:

1) Free games!

2) I'm not gonna pay outrageous prices for import titles.

3) Translations and other hacks

4) Most games that weren't a great success usually get bumped off the shelves at stores for the next round of shovelware. You try finding Tokyo Beat Down in your local Best Buy or Gamestop.

all those. and because i can

 

[ether2802]

because I don't have the money to spend on games that I will only play 5 minutes and because I like to test the games before they get to the reatail stores...!!

 

[Shinryuji]

because I don't have the money to spend on games that I will only play 5 minutes and because I like to test the games before they get to the reatail stores...!!

Well and truly agreed.

 

[Adr990]

Agreed.

Plus, since I wanna review all new games, and even those which I don't like. I actually download some games yes.

But after a review may never be played again.

 

[GameWinner]

the only games i buy is PS3 games......
atleast till someone finds a hack for it

because my mom gets mad everytime i want an expensive game.heck she was happy when i got a flashcart,swap magic,got homebrew on the
wii,and burn ps1 games and do the swap trick on ps2.
