Agen Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I'm gonna have to go with the unpopular guy that said they deserved it for making us wait 6 months. Their excuse is they make better textures for the PC in the 6 months. Really they just sold their soul to the Sony and make us wait 6 months for a game that runs worse than it should on high end PCs (GTA3) or is untouched (Vice). They did sort of have it coming. No-one cares - it doesn't delay the game, doesn't jack up the price noticably or immediately and that's life. People steal. (They do it in game too ^_^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txa1265 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Originally posted by Agen_Terminator I'm gonna have to go with the unpopular guy that said they deserved it for making us wait 6 months. So HL2 *deserves* to get stolen, and Doom 3, and any other game that didn't come out on time or when *you* wanted it to?!?! Originally posted by Agen_Terminator They did sort of have it coming. No-one cares - it doesn't delay the game, doesn't jack up the price noticably or immediately and that's life. People steal. That is the mentality that says that women who wear tight clothes or low cut shirts or short skirts 'deserve' to get raped. Or if you drive a nice car in a bad neighborhood you 'deserve' to get car-jacked. It represents a really messed up sense of morals, and given most of you are teenagers, that scares me ... you really need to get a grip. There *is* such a thing as right and wrong, and trying to justify it by making metrics of the scope is just self-serving crap. This is a pretty sad statement of many of you.

Samuel Dravis Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I hope I'm not included in your list of twisted-moral-people! I don't deserve it.

Breaking the law and justifying it by saying they 'had it coming' because they didn't do what you thought they should is the basis of both ... of course the scope and magnitude of the crime committed is very different, but the context of the self-serving justification is the same.

ET Warrior Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I'm with txa here. I think pirating games is absolutely unacceptable, and trying to rationalize it is just stupid. There is no rationale. I think the reason I am more upset at video game piracy than other forms of piracy is that I will be a programmer by profession in a few years and I understand how difficult and how much work and time these people put into it just to get ripped off by people who are upset because they had to wait a few months for it. boo fricken hoo.

Lightsaberboy Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Originally posted by Agen_Terminator I'm gonna have to go with the unpopular guy that said they deserved it for making us wait 6 months. making you wait 6 months? it's not like they had to release it when they said they would. when it's done, it's done. those early release dates are usually goals for when game developers want to finish the game and release it by, but they are in now way bound to those release dates. they dont owe us anything. they dont have to release it when they say they will; they just do their best to do it. to say they deserved it cause they made you wait 6 months is stupid.
