Look at this:
Do you really not realise that the reason Ubi DRM, SC2 with no LAN etc. exists is because you pirate the games? If noone had ever pirated games, DRM would not exist. You claim to pirate games because of restrictive DRM, but restrictive DRM exists because you pirate games. Your argument is circular (read: stupid).Quote:
I for one liked it better when gaming was the domain of shut-in outcasts, it meant that games were made with passion, not money. Shit like C&C4, IWnet and the Ubi DRM would never have been though of. Starcraft 2, MW2, BFBC2 and BlOps would all have had LAN support and the latter two would have been bug free. The entire concept of porting would never have had the chance to exist. And much, MUCh more. "Vote with your wallet" is the popular term, I do that, and I take it one step further by retaliating the only way I can.
Come on now Raven, just be honest. If those Ubi games had no DRM whatsoever, you still would have pirated them; are you really going to try and pretend otherwise? Your one and only motivation is not paying for something you can get for free without consequence, everything else is just fluff and rationalisation. It's the same thing I said in the article - if you're going to pirate, at least be honest about your reasons.
Sad thing is he is honest, he really believe the stuff that sprouts forth from his posts everytime this topic comes up. Everything pre y2k is awesome and everything made in the last 10 years is shit and doesn't "deserve" his cash thus he pirates it to stick it to the man and make studios make games like in the good old day.Quote:

It's next to impossible to test for every possible eventuality, whereas with thousands of users playing the game and pushing it to the limits is bound to pop up something that the devs missed. In case you don't get the idea, they are busy working and don't really have time to play the game through several times in order to spot all the bugs you are so epically good at apparently finding.
As for your little philosphy of "sticking it to the man" - hahaha ... do you think they even notice you? At least, as a legal buyer, I'm worth a singular unit. Like 1 out of 10,000 purchasers. You pirates are a percentage of one unsightly lump, kinda like a cancer. You're not even worth a full number. Your feedback counts for nothing where bugs are concerned.
And like any cancer, it needs to be treated and removed ... hence DRM. If the cancer goes, so does the treatment.
You ... my lad ... are the cause, and you're most definitely not going to be the cure. You are a shining example of the most base of human desires and emotions - greed, laziness, self-entitlement. You want everything for nothing - but at least you give the rest of us something to measure ourselves against and feel good about ourselves.
@Fox Dude I know i've stopped debating with him ages ago.
That was me pressing the stop key ... I don't think I'm actually going to pay attention to anything he says from this point forward.Quote:

Good going.
