Why do you pirate?

[Soulshine]

For me, it depends on some games.
If it's Pokemon, I'll ask my friend to buy it for me. XD I'm 21, and it feels kinda weird.
Just recently, I haven't been buying, but pirating because some of DS game cover are a bit child like style. If I have a PSP, I don't think I would pirate at all. I want to buy a PSP, but with college and assignments....

I pirate because I can and won't mess with games that I'll play with for a day then never play again. And because it's FUN!

 

[Burnedmagix]

Because I hope to plunder ships and loot their treasure.

 

[shito]

because i live in Brazil (you don't want to know how much we pay for a ds game)

 

[asdf]

I pirate because I don't have the money to pay for games. Simple as that.

Oh and this too.

 

[alidsl]

I pirate Ds games cause of the price

in my local store PSP games are only £10.00

I'm not gonna pirate PSP

 

[iFish]

i just do it to ds games but i do buy them some thime

For me, it's kind of a mix of reasons.

Most of my sets are simply for collecting. I don't play most of the older games and some systems I don't play at all (like the MSX).

Some of mine are for watching tool-assisted speed runs, or playing games on emulators when I'm away from home. Or I'm at home, but using save states is considerably easier.

And sometimes it's because I'm a cheap bastard.

Before I got a flashcart, I bought all the DS Games that i wanted, and that were around 9 or 10 games.
And almost every game here in Germany costs around 40€, so for 10 games that would be 400€,
and that is quite money :/.

Yeah same as above it is to expensive to be a law abiding gamer.

 

[nico445]

Because it's cheap and original games are to expensive for me. back when i was little had a gba but games were very expensive so i didn't have many

then i started to learn about downloading (already used kazaa since i was 7/8 years old lol) then got a nds and about a year later a flashcard.
and now i'm pirating for al my consoles. wii/psp/nds and pc games.. only game i'm going to buy is bioshock 2 since i want to be able to play the multiplayer .

 

[HottSushiz]

I pirate because here in New Zealand, Nintendo DS games, or any games for that matter except for GBA. They will run you about $70.00 - $110! And i don't really want to spend $300 just for 3 games, i could buy another DS. xD

 

[mattsaysfooey]

Not only am I almost totally broke right now - I also have BILLS.
Car insurance, credit cards to pay off, student loans to pay off and if I can't play it with a mod/burnt copy
or pirate it then I wouldn't play it all. I have bigger responsibilities then giving people in the same field as me money.

Still love you guys though - keep up the good work.

Also I'd much rather run and do what "I" want with my purchased hardware then what
"They" want me to do with it. Using my own homebrew and homebrew released by others quite
often surpasses what Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have to offer me.

i agree with you there

 

[outgum]

Simply because i cant afford it, plus i dont have to leave the house to do it, we pay enough money in taxes anyways >_>

 

[gtmtnbiker]

I only pirate older systems that are no longer in production. For current gen system, I buy the games.

 

[DozerGuy]

Because the eye patch gets the ladies.

 

[FencingFoxFTW]

cuz I'm balding and I gotta waste my moneyz in hair regrowth formulas and stuff

 

[MadClaw]

im a poor child that cant buy games

also my internet spped is liek 1.5mbit(160-180kb/s) so it takes forever to dl
